Geagea Says Probe Must Involve Hizbullah-Led Deal that Led to IS 'Escape'
by Naharnet Newsdesk 5 hours ago
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea stressed Sunday that a probe into the 2014 kidnap and consequent execution of Lebanese servicemen should also involve a Hizbullah-led deal that resulted in the evacuation of hundreds of Islamic State jihadists following the army's last month border offensive.
“We support any probe but the investigation should also target those who exerted efforts to allow IS militants to escape and be spared prosecution,” said Geagea during the LF's annual rally in commemoration of the “Martyrs of the Lebanese Resistance.”
“Some parties were dismayed that the army was about to achieve a complete victory, so they sought to deprive it and deprive the Lebanese of the fruits of this victory,” Geagea added, referring to Hizbullah.

This is interesting and I know some things happen in war... but about 6 soldiers of the Lebanese army were killed by ISIS; though one might not have heard about it, Lebanon has had to fight ISIS some on their own territory.
Imagine if there was some sort of comparable situation on the border, the militants/terrorists killed 6 Americans on the border with Mexico, for the sake of peace, a deal is made to allow the terrorists safe passage out of the US into Mexico. That's basically what they are dealing with in Lebanon, except it is not the Lebanese government officially that made a deal but the designated terror group and Iran-backed Hezbollah.
Would it ever be tolerated to make a deal with the likes of someone like ISIS? Maybe over there, one might be content to just get them out of the country, it being a small country like Lebanon.
