Hezbollah Kills Dozens of Nusra Terrorists in Tofeil, Brital Barrens
[ALMANAR.LB] Well-informed sources told Al-Manar that Hezbollah Killed or wounded dozens of Nusra terrorists in Tofeil, Brital barrens in Bekaa, eastern Lebanon.

The sources added that Hezbollah mujahidin (fighters) ambushed and fiercely clashed with Nusra terrorists, destroying their vehicles and equipment.
An Nahar quantifies things:
Fierce festivities erupted Tuesday between Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
fighters and hard boy groups in the outskirts of the towns of Tufail and Brital on Syria's border, Hizbullah's al-Manar TV reported.

"Five vehicles were destroyed and 12 gunnies were killed in the festivities," al-Manar added.

The pro-Hizbullah al-Mayadeen television meanwhile reported the death of “dozens” of fighters from the Qaida-linked al-Nusra Front in “advanced ambushes set up by Hizbullah members in the outskirts of Tufail and Brital.”

Meanwhile, Sky News Arabia TV said “Ali Alayyan, the chief of Hizbullah's military operations in Qalamun, was killed in Qalamun's battles.”

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights for its part said a Hizbullah “field commander” was killed in “shelling and clashes with Islamist factions and al-Nusra Front” in the “Reef Damascus province,” in which Qalamun is located.

On Monday, Islamist rebels led by al-Nusra launched a preemptive strike on pro-regime forces in a mountainous area near the Lebanese border, setting off fierce clashes, a monitor said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said al-Nusra and other groups attacked positions belonging to the regime and Hizbullah, which backs the government, in the Qalamun region.
