Hizbullah Kills 3 Nusra Militants in Arsal Outskirts
Three militants from the Qaida-linked al-Nusra Front were killed Thursday in a Hizbullah attack in the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal, Hizbullah's al-Manar and other TV networks reported.
Hizbullah fighters targeted a group of Nusra militants in the Arsal outskirts area of Harf Wadi al-Kheil, killing three and wounding several others, the reports said.
Militants from al-Nusra and the Islamic State jihadist group are entrenched in mountainous regions in Arsal's outskirts and along the porous Lebanese-Syrian border.
The Lebanese army regularly shells their positions and Hizbullah fighters frequently engage in clashes with them on the Syrian side of the border.
The militants clash with the army occasionally but a major confrontation erupted in August 2014 when the two groups overran Arsal in the wake of the arrest of a senior IS leader.
Nineteen soldiers and around 60 militants were killed in the fighting. The jihadists of the two groups also abducted dozens of troops and policemen of which four were eventually executed.

I said Nusra/ISIS/HA are all evil. How come you never condemn HA, I know the answer to that.

What is there to condemn them about?
Fighting Israeli occupation forces?
Protecting Lebanese Borders from ISIS and Nusra?
You people have no shame, you try to compare them with those groups that kills people just because they are considered heretics.
You know what? March 14 Alliance and ISIS are one and the same then.

Lebanese blood no, but the people that sides with ISIS and Nusra as many of you do even here on Naharnet, yes those are considered enemies/traitors indeed.
March 14 exists yes, and aslong as they only talk and don't act foolish as they did in 2008, then we can probaly all get along.

"don't act foolish "
meaning against hezbollah's interests not lebanese interests as you do not care about lebanese interests.... if you really did care then you would let the armed forces intervene if M14 'act foolish'... in my terms meaning against the laws of Lebanon not against an iranian party...

Who surrendered? The security guards and few 7aras that HA attacked in Hamra and Downtown area? They don't have weapons to fight like HA, so you can't claim that as victory. But let me ask you, what happened when your HA went to the mountains and fought with few Druze? As I recall they had few guns and kicked your asses - Now does that ring a bell?
