... 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... on Wednesday killed an al-Qaeda commander and eight of his men in an attack on their convoy along the Lebanese-Syrian border, the group's media said. Al-Manar television said the convoy of al-Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra ...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 fighters had been traveling on the outskirts of the restive Lebanese border town of Arsal when Hizbullah struck. "The resistance (Hezbollah) fighters targeted the convoy of al-Nusra Front official Abu Firas al-Jubbeh... after carefully monitoring its movements," the station said. Abu Firas and three Islamist fighters were killed immediately and when al-Nusra holy warriors tried to retrieve the bodies, Hizbullah opened fire anew killing the other five. Al-Manar broadcast footage of the arid, rocky terrain where the fighters were targeted and said festivities also erupted between the two sides during which automatic weapons and mortar rounds were used. The station said that the Lebanese army also fired on al-Nusra positions in the area. According to state-run National News Agency, the army fired heavy-caliber artillery at movements and gatherings of holy warriors in Wadi Hmeid and Wadi al-Kheil in Arsal's outskirts, reportedly causing casualties. The festivities come just eight days after al-Nusra freed 16 Lebanese soldiers and police it captured more than a year ago from Arsal. The swap deal partially ended a long-running hostage crisis, but nine other servicemen taken prisoner at the same time are still held by 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.... group. Arsal lies along Leb's border with Syria and it hosts many Syrian refugees as well as rebel fighters in the surrounding countryside. | |

| #3 The only thing better than Arabs killing each other is more Arabs killing each other. |

| #2 "Party of GOD"? God doesn't wantyou to kill me. You're not the party of god. You're the party of evil (Satan) masked as god. |

| #1 a successful operation near the Lebanon border I wonder how Hizbullah is doing deeper in Syria territory, for example, near Aleppo |
