Hizbullah Clashes with Syrian Rebels Overnight in Bekaa's Nahle

A clash took place overnight Saturday between Hizbullah and armed men on the Lebanese-Syrian border, media reports said on Sunday.

According to MTV, the fighting between members of Hizbullah and an “armed Syrian group” left several people killed or wounded.

Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) said “Ali Dirgham Fares was killed and another man was hurt in clashes between members of Hizbullah and fighters from the Free Syrian Army and al-Nusra Front in the barren mountains of the Bekaa town of Nahle."

On Tuesday, several people were reportedly injured in a car bombing that targeted Hizbullah in its stronghold in the eastern district of Baalbek.

The National News Agency said the vehicle was on the road between the towns of Sbouba and Wadi Abu Moussa that lead to Hrabta when a Hizbullah checkpoint opened fire on it. The driver then detonated an estimated 50 kilograms of explosives, the agency said.
