Hezbollah fighters caught a group of Syrian rebel fighters in eastern Lebanon overnight, just east of the city of Baalbek. The rebels were reportedly armed with rocket launchers, though their exact destination was unclear. The ensuing fighting killed at least 12 rebels, and one Hezbollah member.
The exact details varied depending on the media outlet, with al-Mayadeen reporting the ambush killed 17 members of Jabhat al-Nusra, and LBCI reporting that 14 members of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) were actually the target.
It is the first major fighting between Hezbollah and Syrian rebels inside Lebanon, and suggests the spillover violence is growing in the wake of Hezbollah’s role in the re-capture of Qusayr, a border town inside Syria.
Since Qusayr, the rebels have made repeated threats to move against the Shi’ite militia, and have fired multiple rockets and artillery against Hezbollah-dominated areas inside Lebanon. Still, turning this into a ground war inside Lebanon as well as Syria would be a significant escalation.
Syria war well become the largest grave for these bandits and mercenaries sent from Saudi Arabia, UAE, EU and USA.
Saudi Arabia needs to be taken down…thats the key but 'democratic' Amerika needs keep the regime in place
Rebels feeling perky, as they foolishly blunder into a second front…………. It WILL be interesting 2C how this two front situation works out for them….. Has Hesbolah gotten soft, or have they been training while waiting for another chance to show (again) what a ferocious and effective foe they can be…………..
The rebels believed they werr warriors after they easy defeat of the Lybian army. The rebels failed to understand an army being attacked from the air with no defense will always lose. The herzbol took on the idff and they idf suffered horrorable loses. What or who was stupid as to enter into the valley of deasth nd attacking a powerful force like Hezerbol. The rebels bones will help make the desert a garden which is one of the greast cries of the Israeli. I guess they were correct that they came to a desert and produce a garden. I do not think the rotten bodies of their paid employees was the method that they thought. Lebanon has long time been the grave yard of many now the paid prostitutes of Israel
That Arabs are turning on each other is being hailed by Washington. Don't Arabs know that a house divided falls?
The U.S. termites will be busy, fanning the flames, encouraging the killing, the divisions. Look at how successful they've been in Israel!
