Hizbullah Links Fleita, Arsal Outskirts
Hizbullah fighters managed to link Monday the outskirts of the town of Fleita in the Syrian al-Qalamoun region with the edges of the northeastern border town of Arsal.
Hizbullah's al-Manar TV channel reported that the party also seized a number of valleys, including: Al-Turkman, al-Qusair, Aqbat al-Qusaira, al-Siri, al-Hariqa, and al-Tanine.
The party has succeeded recently in achieving gains against al-Qaida-affiliate al-Nusra Front in the area, compelling fighters to retreat from their positions.
Al-Manar said that Hizbullah inflicted several casualties in the ranks of al-Nusra Front.
Hizbullah insists it is fighting in Syria to prevent extremist groups from entering Lebanon.
On Friday, Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah claimed that the party managed to "liberate dozens of square kilometers" of land in al-Qalamoun, pushing back al-Nusra Front and its allies.
He vowed that Hizbullah will next turn its sights on the Islamic State group which has seized chunks of Syria and Iraq.

Resistance ? Which resistance? The one that assassinated National Unity and the living together? The one which will take revenge against more than half of the Lebanese people after the defeat of the Butcher?

I donno 'bout you but I have a nagging feeling that the geniuses over HQ down in the sewers of Dahieh got their maps upside down! They keep sending to push the takfiris away from Lebanon and for some strange reason they always end up getting further from Syria where they were in the first place and closer to Lebanon. I keep losing Jihadi bros who instead of performing their Jihadi duty end up performing the death scene from Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre but for real! We keep taking the same positions over and over again. I keep getting dispatches from HQ congratulating us for winning the same damn battle! I mean ya cannot keep winning the same hill six times without losing it at least five times. I think it's the maps they send us, they mark to push towards the East when the mission is successfully completed my trusty compass keep telling I'm facing west damit! You Hassans in HQ turn the damn maps around I keep losing brothers and somehow end up at the same place I started from
