Cease-fire halts Syria-Lebanon border fight against ISIL
A cease-fire took effect on Aug. 27 in an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) enclave straddling the Syria-Lebanon border, where the militants have been fighting the Lebanese army on one front and Hezbollah with Syrian troops on the other.
The Lebanese army announced that a cease-fire in its own offensive took effect at 7 a.m. but did not mention Syria's side of the frontier.
