Syrian Airstrikes Bomb 'Nusra Positions' in Arsal Outskirts

W300

Syria airstrikes at dawn on Monday targeted positions of al-Nusra Front militant group in the northeastern border town of Arsal, the National News Agency reported.

The raids come one day after similar strikes carried out on Sunday where Syrian fighter jets bombed the al-Kassarat area, media reports had said.

Similar raids had targeted the area in recent days.

The development comes amid reports that Hizbullah is preparing to launch a military campaign aimed at ousting the jihadist groups Islamic State and Fateh al-Sham Front from the area.

Wonderful. Cheer like Dr Farid el Khazen (FPM), Ibrahim Kanaan (FPM), Dr. Mohammad Jawad Khalifeh (Amal) and Yassine Jaber (Amal) did in 2006.. source WikiLeaks. But that was after Hassan Nasrallah by starting the war had all but invited Israel to destroy Lebanon.
