24 August 2016 English

Islamic Resistance fighters attacked terrorists along Lebanon’s northeastern border with Syria on Sunday, inflicting heavy losses to them, media affiliated with the party said.

(archive)Gatherings of Al-Nusra front terrorists were targeted and directly hit by Hezbollah artillery fire in an area known as Al-Qanzah peak on the outskirts of Arsal.

ISIL and the Fatah al-Sham Front terrorists have been entrenched on the outskirts of Arsal since August 2014, when they briefly overran the town.

The Lebanese Army and Hezbollah strike their posts on a near daily basis along the restive border region to keep them at bay.
