The deal has angered Iraq and the US, which launched airstrikes to block the convoy.

Beirut: A convoy of ISIS militants being evacuated from the Lebanon-Syria border was moved to another Syrian government-held area on Thursday after their passage to ISIS-held territory further east was blocked by US-led airstrikes.
More than 300 militants and their families are in the convoy of buses after vacating the border area as part of a Hezbollah-negotiated deal to transport them to an ISIS-held town in eastern Syria near the Iraqi border.
Earlier in the day, the ISIS handed over to Hezbollah the body of a recently-captured Iranian Revolutionary Guard member as part of the deal. The deal has angered Iraq and the US, which launched airstrikes to block the convoy.
