Fierce Flita Clashes Leave 5 Hizbullah Fighters, 6 Nusra Militants Dead
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The al-Qaida-affiliated al-Nusra Front has attacked posts controlled by Hizbullah and the Syrian Army in the town of Fleita in the Syrian Qalamun region on Saturday, killing five Hizbullah members and several Syrian soldiers while sustaining six deaths.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Saturday that “fierce clashes are ongoing since early morning between Hizbullah and the Syrian Army on one side and al-Nusra Front on the other in Qalamun's Flita outskirts.”
According to LBCI TV, al-Nusra Front militants attacked the positions overnight.
Al-Nusra stated on the twitter account of its Qalamun branch that “the Front took control of Hizubllah's al-Masroub post in Flita's outskirts.”
Hizbullah-run al-Manar TV however denied al-Nusra's claims and reported that “the shelling was focused on al-Masroub post in Flita, but the al-Nusra attack was not surprising.”
“The clashes went on for hours but the attack was eventually repulsed and the gunmen retreated to Tal al-Hariq, after airstrikes by the Syrian army on al-Nusra's posts in Khirbat Mira and Wadi Martbiyyeh, which left 6 dead and 17 injured."
Reports also stated that Hizbullah members Ali Bakri, Fadl Faqih, Hamza Ammar, Mohammed al-Hajj Hassan and Hadi Hassan Nour al-Din were killed in the battles.
Meanwhile, al-Nusra announced on Twitter that its fighters planted landmines near posts controlled by Hizbullah and the Lebanese army.
“The engineering team planted mines in the areas near the Iranian (Hizbullah) and the Nusayri (Syrian) army in Qalamun,” the group said in a tweet.
LBCI later reported that heavy clashes erupted between Hizbullah and al-Nusra Front on the outskirts of Flita.
Flita is just across the Lebanese border to Arsal, a crossing point 20 kilometers to the northwest which rebels and refugees have used regularly.
Hizbullah is a close ally of the Syrian regime and has been fighting alongside government troops against an uprising there.
Its involvement has helped the army to recapture key territory, but drawn the ire of many in Lebanon.
The Lebanese army has been battling the Syria-based Islamist militants who are entrenched on the porous border between Lebanon and Syria since several months.
In August, they overran Arsal and engaged in deadly fighting with the army. Around 20 troops were killed while at least 35 soldiers and policemen were taken hostage by the retreating militants.

Once again, Naharnet is very fast to report the death of Resistance fighters, but not a single mention of the takfiris slain in the Fleita battle.
Rest in peace to our beloved Resistance fighters. They died for our safety.

Why do you think the Resistance intervened in Syria? To keep Lebanon from becoming part of the ISIS false "caliphate". Ofcourse we see M14 reject that fact. Because you wanted Lebanon as part of the ISIS state, just to harm the Resistance. Nothing else, we all know that.

42 minutes ago Reports: A third Hizbullah member, Hamza Ammar from al-Tireh, has been killed in battles with al-Nusra Front in Fleita.
don't be so arrogant. There are reports of more than 11 dead from your hizb el erhab and many injured.

How many of your beloved takfiris were slain? I can answer that, but i withheld any answers for the time being.
You are not very quick on that subject, just like Naharnet.

Not as long a night as for the takfiris. This will be one cold winter for them, they are still under siege in Qalamoun mountains, and they didn't break through the Resistance post at Fleita, they were simply repelled back, and our honorable fighters died to repel those takfiris, they are winners & Shaheed.

" Hizbullah announced the death of a fourth fighter in the clashes with al-Nusra in Flita, identifying him as Mohammed al-Hajj Hassan from Bekaa's Hawsh al-Nabi."
Whenever they attack Lebanon I am 100% behind Lebanese armed forces and against Nusra (Always) and Isis (Always).. No matter what, Lebanon is a RED Line

When immigrants living abroad safely in the west, far away from the hot zone claims others are cowards. Then all i can do is laugh.
You ISraeli lover. Only one killing unarmed Civilians are your Geagea, Kataeb, Phalangists, LF, Israel, ISIS and the rest of the takfiris.
You should join Abu Bakr Baghdadis quest for the takfiri state, just like many other of you westerners did.

May 2008 were M14 paid mercenaries. Stop whining about 2008 when you got your heads smashed in. Now that is a time worth remembering. The humiliating defeat of M14, whom tried to muscle out the Resistance.

I can't understand all this futile conversions that you have, you might not be with hezbollah or Assad regime I accept that, but how can you be on the side of Al nusra front ! They al qaeda related, any sane person in lebanon knows that you can't deal with them. Al nusra front have lebanese military hostages, they killed some of hour brave lebanese soldiers, they commited terrorist acts in lebanon, so please stop support the al nusra front, even if you don't like hezbollah and the syrian regime !!!

(1). Mystic, I've been reading this thread for a while and refused to participate for my own reasons, one of them being my dislike to see fellow Lebanese citizens being killed in a war not ours, but of your choosing sadly with all its nefarious repercussions. However where you made mention of May 2008 and heads smashed, I just wanted to steer your attention to this: Hezbollah saw NO victory then, attacking by surprise the Sunnis of Beirut who are known to be peaceful and moderate. But when Hezbollah attempted to enter the Shouf a little later, a rude awakening happened to HA where it got seriously humiliated by the Druze fighters of the Shouf.

(2). mYSTIC. Then Sayed Hassan tried to intimidate Geagea by telling him in full public that he Sayed Hassan was aiming to visit Geagea. One day when Hezbollah was beginning to infiltrate East Beirut from Ein El Remmaneh, when all of a sudden the Lebanese Army withdrew its troops there, Ein El Remmaneh saw the sudden appearance of hundreds fully armed LF fighters who also received the direct orders of Geagea not to do anything yet if the army did not return to man the checkpoints separating East from West Beirut. The LF stayed inside buildings till order was restored by the army. My dear Mystic, your being bombastic as always does no good to the quality of your debates, being so macho proves only one thing, that you are worried about things shaping up against the interests of Hezbollah, now none of which are patriotic. Now feel free to rant about my being pro US and Pro Israel, who gives a rat's arse anyway.

(3). Mystic, finally to cap off this discussion in 2008, instead of Hezbollah trying to be wise and intelligent, Hezbollah then drunk with power and feeling that Bashar was almost a God and whose rule and authority would not be challenging in a million years, Hezbollah instead of seizing the opportunity to open an honest and just dialog with the moderate Sunnis of Lebanon and their Christian allies, instead of showing intelligence, Hezbollah chose to bully. You people gained nothing in fact, today as time went by, you got the radicals of th Sunni world, all converging to take your scalps. Hopefully now Hezbollah should be a lot more lucid. I said, hopefully.

Now you idiots know why Lebanon should have stayed Christian first. It had nothing to do withe the people of Lebanon per se. All you had to do is look outside the boarders. Money, money, money.
