IS warriors reach Deir al-Zor

Buses with IS warriors evacuated from an area near the Lebanese border have reached Deir al-Zor on Wednesday in eastern Syria.

Damascus and Hezbollah announced last month that nearly three hundred jihadists and as many relatives could leave an enclave at the Syrian-Lebanese border after a violent offensive. The coalition led by the Americans prevented the buses from driving to Deir al-Zor, after which the convoy split in two. It is unclear whether all vehicles have arrived in the area around the city where Islamic State is still serving.
