Both convoys were set to leave to their respective destinations, before the rebels in Rashideen held the convoy of the Shiite people, adding new demands to the original deal.
The rebel convoy was also stuck at Ramouseh, amid reports that communications were underway to continue the implementation of the deal.
A source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity that the rebels' new demand was the evacuation of the Shiite fighters first from Kafraya and Foa, before the civilians.
But the demand was rejected as there is a fear that if the Shiite fighters, who are defending the towns, left the towns first, the rebels could attack the towns and commit massacres there.
But following the explosion, the rebels released the buses and agreed to resume the deal, and the busses carrying the rebels and their families from Madaya left Ramouseh toward Rashideen and later will go to Idlib.
The source told Xinhua that the deal will continue and the rest of the people from the four towns will evacuate as planned.
Earlier, an eyewitness from those waiting in Rashideen told Xinhua that three people died while waiting due to poor medical conditions, before the explosion.
He added that the three dead are all women, who gave birth inside the buses in tough situation as those people had been waiting there for 24 hours without enough food or water.
