Hizbullah Shells Nusra Posts in Arsal Outskirts, Inflicts Casualties

W300

Hizbullah on Friday bombed posts of the jihadist group al-Nusra Front in the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal, Hizbullah's al-Manar TV said.

“The mujahideen of the resistance have fired guided missiles at the posts of the al-Nusra Front militants in Arsal's outskirts, destroying several barricades,” al-Manar reported.

Several militants were killed and wounded, it added.

Militants from the Front and its rival jihadist group Islamic State are entrenched in rugged areas along the undemarcated Lebanese-Syrian border and the army regularly shells their posts while Hizbullah and the Syrian army have engaged in clashes with them on the Syrian side of the border.

The two jihadist groups briefly overran the town of Arsal in August 2014 before being ousted by the army after days of deadly battles.

The army command knows what you don't seem to be able to wrap your head around: Hezbollah is the Lebanese Resistance, fighting side by side with the Lebanese Army against our common enemies.

how can you be moderate when fighting against a brutal criminal dictator and a hate filled sectarian iranian terror group?
