A military news service run by Lebanon's pro-Damascus Hezbollah group said the evacuation of eastern Aleppo had been halted Friday partly due to a failure to evacuate wounded people from two Shiite villages besieged by rebels in Idlib.
It also cited previous reasons given for the suspension of the evacuation: that rebels had sought to take prisoners with them and had bombarded a road due to be used by the buses set to conduct the evacuation from the two villages, al-Foua and Kefraya.
Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Lebanese group, is fighting on the side of President Bashar Assad in Syria's civil war.
