BEIRUT,
Aug 29: A convoy of Islamic State fighters and their families reached
an exchange point in eastern Syria on Tuesday, a Hezbollah military media unit
said, where they will be transferred into IS-held territory under a ceasefire
deal. The convoy of buses and ambulances left the Lebanon-Syria border region
on Monday under Syrian military escort after a ceasefire took effect on Sunday.
The deal ended a week-long offensive with the Lebanese army on one front and
Hezbollah with the Syrian army on the other against Islamic State's mountainous
enclave straddling the Lebanon-Syria border. REUTERS
