The U.S.-led coalition said it may strike a convoy of IS militants that evacuated the Lebanon border headed toward eastern Syria under an agreement brokered by Hezbollah.
Coalition spokesman Col. Ryan Dillon said the coalition has already struck a small bridge and punched a crater in a road to keep them from moving further east toward the border with Iraq.
The evacuation agreement had already angered many Iraqis, who accused Syria and Lebanon's Hezbollah of dumping the militants on the Iraqi border rather than eradicating them.
Lebanese troops launched an attack against IS, while Syrian troops and Hezbollah fighters launched a simultaneous offensive from the Syrian side of the border. The militants agreed to a cease-fire over the weekend once they had been squeezed into a small area along the frontier.
Reaping the love you sow. Just a thought.
