Hezbollah and Assad Transfer Daesh Terrorists to Iraqi Borders

[Arabi]

Abadi rejects Hezbollah's deal to move ISIS to Iraqi borders

Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi rejected Hezbollah's deal to move ISIS elements from the Lebanese borders to the Syrian-Iraqi ones.

Hezbollah militias have allowed elements of ISIS to ride buses to get out of Jroud and go to Deir al-Zour under an agreement involving the Syrian regime amid controversial accusations that Hezbollah is making deals at the expense of the Lebanese army.

Hezbollah militias in Lebanon was lately accused of the obstruction of national political will and the undermining the efforts of Lebanese institutions. It was against negotiations with ISIS and Nusrah groups and eventually got involved in the move.

As for the abducted soldiers, Hezbollah launched a battle called clearing Jroud from terrorists, set the launching date, before retreating and making a deal with the so-called terrorists and opening a safe route for their retreat.

They pushed the state to hand three of the security prisoners in Roumieh prison in exchange for a number of its fighters who were received as heroes.

The Lebanese decision to eliminate ISIS in Jroud, came with regional and international blessing. It was met with many obstacles and criticisms by Hezbollah, who refused again to negotiate with ISIS, but then facilitated the exit of ISIS fighters and their families to Deir al-Zour in front of the whole world.

The most prominent scene was that ISIS fighters turned themselves in to Hezbollah instead of the Lebanese army.

While the army was on its way to eliminate ISIS in Lebanon and restore the authority of the state, a cease-fire agreement was imposed, abandoning its precondition to know the fate of its abducted soldiers; the agreement was made by Hezbollah and the Syrian regime.

The final battle scene looked as such; Hezbollah won by getting out its captured fighters from Al-Nusra, the latter moved to a secure area, while ISIS for the first time got out safe and strengthened its front in Deir al-Zour.

As for the Lebanese army, it was deprived of the final victory and the people’s support it had received before, and appeared as if it was unable to protect its soldiers.

Hahhah i am imagining CIA's trained and funded Saudi terrorists, so called IS, is being sandwiched between Iraq and Syria.
Iraqis know that this is a Saud made propaganda, terrorists are fleeing and on the other side of the border Hashd Al Sha'abi with a column of Sunni fighters are waiting on them.

Sunnis of Hashd Al Sha'abi :

Obviously Saudis failed to warmonger between Sunnis and Shias and they will keep on failing inshallah.

I distinctly remember when plans were being drawn up to liberate Mosul, numerous mainstream media were bemoaning the fact that Iraq was surrounding the city to prevent ISIS from escaping rather than do what they did before and leave some area for ISIS to escape so the city could be taken quicker.

It is impossible to get away from hypocrisy these days.

Actually, the Governmental forces of Iraq put forces on three fronts of Mosul and left only one open route for Daesh to leave the city, but then the secterian JAHSH militia came to close the western part which was open just to make Mosul operation harder on the Governmental forces.

US strikes IS militants heading toward evacuees

BEIRUT – The Latest on the Syrian conflict and the war against the Islamic State group (all times local):

6:45 p.m.

The U.S.-led coalition says it has struck an Islamic State convoy coming from militant-held territory in Syria to meet IS evacuees being transferred there under a controversial deal brokered by Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group.

U.S. officials have criticized the transfer of hundreds of militants and civilians who are bound for an IS-held area near the Iraqi border, saying the extremists should be killed on the battlefield.

Col. Ryan Dillon says Wednesday's airstrike hit vehicles identified as belonging to IS that were traveling from IS-held territory toward the convoy.

Coalition officials say they are not bound by the evacuation agreement and may strike the evacuees themselves. An earlier coalition airstrike destroyed a small bridge and cratered a road, hindering the movement of the evacuees.

There are about 300 militants and almost as many family members on buses being evacuated under the deal, which ended the IS presence along the Lebanon-Syria border.

4:45 p.m.

A U.S. official says the coalition is monitoring a convoy of Islamic State fighters who were evacuated from the Lebanon-Syria border toward an area near Iraq under a controversial agreement and may strike the militants.

Col. Ryan Dillan, a spokesman for the U.S.-led alliance against the militants, says "we are monitoring their location in real time." He says the coalition "will not rule out strikes against IS fighters being moved."

He says the coalition has already bombed a small bridge to obstruct the convoy.

Syrian opposition activists say the convoy, which left the Lebanon-Syria border on Tuesday, is still in government-controlled territory in eastern Syria.

The IS militants were allowed to evacuate in buses following a Hezbollah-negotiated deal that allows them to go to IS-held territory near the Iraqi border.

Dillan said "we are not party to any agreements that were made by the Lebanese Hezbollah and ISIS or the (Syrian) regime." ISIS is another acronym for the Islamic State group.

12:45 p.m.

A U.S. official has blasted a deal that led to the evacuation of hundreds of Islamic State group fighters and civilians from the Lebanon-Syria border to areas close to Iraq, saying the extremists should be killed on the battlefield.

The evacuation agreement, the first such publicized deal, had already angered many Iraqis who accused Syria and Lebanon's Hezbollah of dumping the militants on the Iraqi border rather than eradicating them.

The top U.S. envoy for the international coalition against IS, Brett McGurk, tweeted on Wednesday that it is "irreconcilable" that IS "terrorists should be killed on the battlefield, not bused across #Syria to the Iraqi border without #Iraq's consent."

McGurk added that the anti-IS coalition will help ensure that "these terrorists can never" enter Iraq.

Lol Why is the U S talking as if they are the boss of Iraq? They should leave the Iraqi government handle this Hezbollah and ISIS deal themselves, getting so involved publicly will only lead to criticism about 'U.S imperialism'.

Whereas restraint would lead to mewlings about U.S. "abandonment", right?

That would be greater If you extended it to all regional governments. leave them all alone ...

Obviously. Lol. The U.S needs to learn to be less public on certain issues. They should obviously support the Iraqi military(its basically a U.S/Western trained and equipped force) and government like they have been doing against ISIS and other terror groups , but they should try and be less vocal about such issues and take a less prone active role in engaging such adversaries like ISIS ahead of even the Iraqi government. Let ISIS go where they were heading to since it's a deal between Hezbollah and ISIS. I don't think the U.S should have striked them in this case. It was the wrong thing to do. Let Iraq deal with the negotiation and fight them themselves. The U.S,U.K, France and other western powers should just provide all the military and logistical support they have been providing to Iraqi forces.

That would be greater If you extended it to all regional governments. leave them all alone ...

Are you sure the U.S leaving Iraq alone would be good for your country's interests?
You know the U S,U.K and other western powers have been training, equipping, and providing logistical and air support to the Iraqi military and even to your Shias militias in Iraq for the fight against ISIS and other Sunni extremist groups. Funny enough western powers have been tolerant of even Iranian backed Shia militias in Iraq and we have provided them with training,arms and air cover in many battles. So if anything western presence serves your interests , which I know is rather ironic, but then again that's geo politics in the middle East for you.

The west hasn't been training or equipping Iraqi PMU.

And the western armed and trained Iraqi army completely collapsed to the point that ISIS were nearing Baghdad. It was only when Iraq asked Iranian for advisers to set up the PMU, who pushed ISIS back.

Western presence in Iraq does not suit us at all. Why do you think we helped Iraqi militias fight US occupying forces for years after the invasion? Because Iran wanted to expedite the US exit of the country. Iran didn't like hundreds of thousands of US troops on its western border, and tens of thousands more on its eastern border.

The US, by the way, has no right to "tolerate" Iraqi PMU. That is for the Iraqi government to do, and they do.
