...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front-affiliate Jaish al-Fatah and the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). The state-run National News Agency reported that festivities reached the outskirts of Arsal and Wadi Hmeid crossing, four kilometers from a Lebanese army checkpoint. The army prevented owners and employees of stone crusher plants in the area from heading to the region. The Lebanese army recently said that its role is limited to defending Leb's land and border, refusing to interfere in the Qalamoun battle. Meanwhile, ...back at the bunker, his Excellency called the chief of staff and complained that the artillery was keeping him awake... unknown gunnies stole 1,500 liters of fuel from a petrol station in Arsal's Wadi al-Rayaan area after they tied a worker. Unknown knife-wielding attackers also stabbed Fatmeh Nabil al-Hujairi several times and robbed an amount of a money from her. Despite ideological similarities, the Nusra Front and ISIL are opposed and in conflict with each other in other parts of Syria, particularly in the north. Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... backed by Syrian forces controlled strategic heights of Assal al-Wared in the Syrian region of Qalamoun that abuts Leb's eastern border. Some 3,000 forces of Evil are in the Qalamoun region, a Hizbullah commander recently said. He said Hizbullah and Syrian troops surround the Qalamoun from the north, the east and the south, as well as part of the west, squeezing the Islamic forces of Evil who remain. The total area of the Qalamoun being contested is about 1,000 square kilometers -- of which 340 square kilometers (131 square miles) lie in Leb and are under bully boys' control. Hizbullah cites that fear of forces of Evil sweeping through Shiite and Christian villages in diverse Leb as one of the main reasons for their involvement in Syria. Some observers however fear the Qalamoun offensive could prompt Islamist forces of Evil to launch attacks in Shiite areas of Leb itself, including Beirut's southern suburbs. A wave of bombings targeting Hizbullah strongholds in 2013 and 2014 left scores of people dead and maimed. Already, residents in a southern Beirut stronghold of Hizbullah say security has been tightened in the area, with officials searching cars and checking identification papers. | |
