Hizbullah Destroys IS Positions in Ras Baalbek

W300

Hizbullah has reportedly destroyed Islamic State group positions entrenched on the outskirts of the border town of Ras Baalbek and al-Zwaytineh, al-Manar TV said on Saturday.

The TV station said that Hizbullah fighters bombarded two positions during the attack and that several were killed and wounded.

Militants from the al-Qaida-linked al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State group are entrenched in rugged mountains along the Lebanese-Syrian border and the Lebanese army regularly shells their positions while Hizbullah and the Syrian army have engaged in clashes with them on the Syrian side of the border.

The two groups overran the town of Arsal in 2014 and engaged in deadly battles with the Lebanese army for several days.

The retreating militants abducted around 35 troops and policemen of whom four have been executed and nine remain in captivity.

it is very easy! just hand your guns and expertise to the army, you would reinforce it instead of being a militia funded 100% by iran....
but you will never obey lebanon as you pledged allegiance to iran not to lebanon....
