Hizbullah Says It Killed IS Commander in al-Qaa Outskirts

W300

Hizbullah announced overnight that it has managed to kill the Islamic State military commander for the al-Qaa border region, where eight suicide bombings killed five people and wounded 28 others earlier this week.

Hizbullah's television al-Manar said the group, which shares security responsibilities with the Lebanese Army in areas along the eastern border with Syria, killed a commander known as Abu Khatab in a rocket attack.

The army did not release any comment.

Hizbullah has blamed al-Qaa's attacks on IS.

Violence from neighboring Syria's civil war has spilled across the border in the past. Islamic State and al-Nusra Front militants briefly seized the Lebanese border town of Arsal in 2014, before security forces pushed them back across the frontier.

The Qaa residents are also working alongside the Resistance and the Army to pinpoint ISIS targets at the border areas, this is the way it should be done.

People, Army and Resistance. While empty words on Naharnet tries to ruin the mood by perfoming garbage on news website smearing the peoples desire to confront ISIS in Lebanon and Syria.

So they are supposed to feel sad for the shelling on enemy positions?
Just as much as you are happy when the Resistance fighters gets martyred, we enjoy watching your takfiris die too.

It is pretty simple.

"Hizbullah has blamed al-Qaa's attacks on IS." Ehm, like everyone else has?
