"A battle waged by Hizbullah to liberate the outskirts of (Arsal) from 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.

Front holy warriors is a violation of Leb's illusory sovereignty," said Zahra in an interview to VDL (93.3) on Friday. The MP considered that "the party has taken over a role that the Lebanese army could have taken.'
