Hizbullah Seizes 70% of Arsal Outskirts, Entire Area around Flita
Hizbullah on Sunday pressed on with its assault in the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal, seizing more strategic points from the hands of the Fateh al-Sham jihadist group, which was known as al-Nusra Front before announcing a severing of ties with al-Qaida.
Hizbullah's military media unit said the group's fighters seized control of the entire outskirts of Syria's Flita from Nusra's hands and were in control of around 70% of Arsal's outskirts by Sunday afternoon.
"The resistance has seized control of the Shaabat Sharaf hill, the Hqab Wadi al-Kheil hill, Dalil Wadi al-Rihan, Hqab Wadi al-Rihan, Wadi al-Rihan and Hqab al-Tabbeh in Arsal's outskirts," the unit said.
Syrian warplanes meanwhile carried out intense raids on the Wadi al-Kheil area.
According to the National News Agency, Nusra's presence has become limited to the Wadi Hmayyed and al-Malahi areas after Hizbullah took Wadi al-Kheil and the al-Kassarat region.
"The Lebanese army is still confronting any infiltration attempt by the militants towards the town of Arsal," NNA added.
Hizbullah had achieved major progress in Arsal's outskirts in the morning, capturing al-Oueini valley, “an important Nusra post in the outskirts,” Hizbullah's military media unit said.
Hizbullah also took the strategic Shoabat al-Qalaa mountain which, according to the military media unit, lies 2,350 meters above sea level and oversees the al-Dobb and al-Rihan valleys.
According to NNA, artillery and rocket fire was also targeting al-Nisr valley amid a notable advance towards the al-Shayyar hill.
Also on Sunday, the Saraya Ahl al-Sham rebel group announced a ceasefire in Arsal “in preparation for negotiations.”
According to the military media unit, at least 46 Nusra militants were killed in Arsal's outskirts and at least 23 others were killed in Flita's outskirts on Sunday while dozens of the jihadist group's fighters were wounded.
Hizbullah had launched its long-awaited assault in the border region on Friday and has lost around 19 fighters in the ongoing battle.

If your beloved salafis aren't killed, then they will kill us.
It's killed or be killed, so you think I care about being humanized?
Salafis are not human beings, they are not even animals.
They have to die, pure and simple.

You think the Salafi would spare our families if we gave them mercy? They would kill us all if they had the chance, our women and children too.
You don't see us kill all the sunnis in Syria, there are millions of them living in Assad areas, do you see us killing them for their sect?
No, we are actually the more human people.

s.o.s, remember this golden quote.
Don't kill if you can't accept being killed yourself.

bless anyone person, entity, organization, brigade or country that inflicts extreme pain and unbearable suffering, death, torture, and destruction upon the iranian sectarian terrorist militia and its members, sponsors, supporters or followers wherever they may be.

"Besides, you won't be seeing anymore videos in the next few hours, their won't be anyone to film them"

Fact is, you lost this war. You should die with some dignity instead of all this bark like some whipped dog.
Look at Khaled in my video, he knew he was a dead man so he stayed silent.

God Bless the Lebanese Army for protecting our borders and not allowing foreign armed groups to operate on lebanese soil.
I am sure all the army officers, soldiers file and rank are so proud of their achievements.

what is plain obvious from the comments above, this is not a fight against terrorism. This is about the shias avenging their hussain.

Southern needs his meds, also I'm thinking he was ignored or abused as a child, as this is how they would present themselves^ Learn from this classy example readers.

lubnani; this was never about terrorism and everything to do with their sectarian hatred. ever since khomeini came to power in iran with his filthy wilayat al faqih doctrine that preaches hatred and vengeance the Middle East has been an absolute mess. As you said the comments of shia on the forum reflect the amount of hatred they harbor. Blame those M14 leaders who let down the true Lebanese and allowed this criminal organization to become stronger than the armed forces.
What are they resisting? Occupation? Israel? Israel is south not north or east or in yemen or bahrain.
Lebanon cannot be saved.

One thing I realize is that 90% of the inbred harassment is from one individual, particular Southern. I'm sure somewhere in his magical mind this is normal, to the rest it's entertainment.

You can learn to talk like an adult, how about that Southern? Nice try assuming I'm zionist lol, only to satisfy your inbred subconscious. Point is you're a joke.

Are you capable of acting like an adult Southern? Doesn't seem like it.

@Elemental: the very interesting information we are getting is the revelation of their objectives. They want Lebanon to unite with the most uncivilized and barbarian country on the planet... It clearly shows who is the No 1 enemy of Lebanon.
Today they parade as victors, but there is a tomorrow. Lebanon is protected by God who is pure Love and doesn't need anyone to defend HIM.
The warmongers ISIS, Nusra, Daesh, Ebola will all end up in the fires of Hell. This is a certainty.
You may win as much as you like...your eternity is with Lucifer.

Yeah their primitive true colors are showing, doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. They're delusional mindset is actually quite disturbing, look at the way they talk and lie so much.

Fully agree. Their ideology is non-lebanese. They should never be called Lebanese.
