| 2017-05-02 |
| [AnNahar] The number of bully boyz spread out in some of Leb's outskirts have remarkably dwindled due to the army's measures, which makes any military operation to entirely liberate the outskirts much easier than before, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Monday. Security and intelligence reports said the number of bad boy groups has decreased significantly because of the Lebanese army's siege, in addition to members who get killed as the result of army shelling. Reports have shown that no more than 500 bad boy fighters still exist on the outskirts which makes a military action against them much easier than before, said the daily. A senior military source told the newspaper: "The army is studying its plans well and is ready for any confrontation, including the liberation of the outskirts. The political decision is available, but accurate calculations are made for any battle. "The US permanent military aid for the army and the arrival of planes to the Riyaq airport give several indications. The Americans are ready to help us in any war to clean up 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 and al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-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." The source stressed that "Leb is part of the international coalition against the IS. The international community is helping us fight terrorism and it will backs us in any future battle." The sources affirmed that the Lebanese army is fighting alone on Leb's soil and is ready to make more sacrifices to liberate any area on its land. Militants from the IS and al-Nusra Front, which rebranded itself as Jabhat Fateh al-Sham ...formerly al-Nusra, the current false nose and mustache of al-Qaeda in the Levant... when it split from the al-Qaeda movement, are entrenched in rugged areas along the undemarcated Lebanese-Syrian border and the army regularly shells their posts while 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... and the Syrian army have engaged in festivities with them on the Syrian side of the border. The two groups briefly overran the town of Arsal in August 2014 before being ousted by the army after days of deadly battles. The retreating bully boyz kidnapped more than 30 troops and coppers of whom four have been executed and nine remain in the captivity of the IS group. |

| #1 The US permanent military aid for the army Lebanese Army = Hezbollah = Iran. Well, I guess when we (Israel) have enough and exterminate Hezbollah, Americans will complain that we're disrupting their plans to fight ISIS. |
