Block-scoped declarations not yet supported outside strict mode - Laravel Mix

I'm running Laravel 5.4 on my Homestead vagrant box. I've installed all the npm dependencies with npm install command. That didn't produce any errors.

In my webpack.min.js file I have:

const { mix } = require('laravel-mix');

/*
 |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | Mix Asset Management
 |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 |
 | Mix provides a clean, fluent API for defining some Webpack build steps
 | for your Laravel application. By default, we are compiling the Sass
 | file for the application as well as bundling up all the JS files.
 |
 */

mix.js([
        'resources/assets/plugins/jquery-1.11.3.min.js',
        'resources/assets/plugins/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js',
        'resources/assets/js/main.js'
    ], 'public/js'
);

mix.combine([
       'resources/assets/plugins/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css',
       'resources/assets/plugins/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css',
       'resources/assets/css/styles.css'
   ], 'public/css/all.css');

When I want to run npm run production I'm getting the following errors:
