React 16: script1002 syntax error on IE11 and below

screenshot IE11

I'm getting this error when viewing my app on IE11 and below. Also the app returns a white page.

To make things even worse, the console is not showing a line number to indicate what/where the problem is located. This makes it very hard to figure out what's wrong. I'm using Webpack 4 and babel-polyfill.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Webpack config

const HtmlWebPackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin");
const ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin");
const CleanWebpackPlugin = require("clean-webpack-plugin");
const CopyWebpackPlugin = require("copy-webpack-plugin");
const webpack = require('webpack');
const extractSass = new ExtractTextPlugin({
filename: "[name].[hash].css",
disable: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"
});
module.exports = {
// mode: 'production',
entry: [
    'babel-polyfill',
    './src/index.js'
],
output: {
    publicPath: '/',
    filename: '[name].[hash].js',

    rules: [
        {

                loader: "babel-loader"
            }
        },
        {
            test: /\.(png|svg|jpg|gif)$/,
            use: [{

                options: {
                    // name: "./images/[name].[hash].[ext]",
                    name: '[path][name]-[hash:8].[ext]'

I want to reiterate what Jornve realized, as it took me a while to figure this out as well. The query-string package will not work in IE. As it states in the docs,

This module targets Node.js 6 or later and the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. If you want support for older browsers, or, if your project is using create-react-app, use version 5: npm install query-string@5.

Removing the dependency and writing my own implementations of the functions fixed the problem for me. I did not try using version 5 of the package, but perhaps that would fix it too.
