Hezbullies Resistance Fighters Ambush Nusra Militants in Arsal Barrens

[ALMANAR.LB] Fighters of the Lebanese resistance ambushed a Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
 group in Arsal barrens on Wednesday, killing all members of a Takfiri group operating there.
"Lebanese resistance," of course, means Hezbollah. Nobody else in Leb resists anything.
Security sources told al-Manar that the group belongs to "al-Ghurabaa" Brigade of Nusra Front, noting that the ambush was perfect and that the snuffies were observed through surveillance drone.

The Takfiris were planning a terrorist attack in Arsal barrens near the barrens of the Lebanese town of Nahle, the sources added.

Among the killed snuffies was a commander, the sources said, addding that the terrorists' vehicle as well as a room used by them were totally destroyed.

The Syrian army and the resistance fighters have been for weeks engaged in a wide-scale operation to secure the barrens of Qalamoun. This area lies on the border between Syria and Leb and is considered as stronghold for the Syria-based Takfiri Lion of Islams.

Controlling this area is of mush significance since it secures the Lebanese towns in Bekaa from the Terrorists' attacks.

The video below shows the ambush which targeted the terrorists.

#4  If the rebels win, they aint going to stop at the Lebanese border. Scores will be settled.

Note the Nusra statement that Allawites will be safe, as long as they convert to being Sunni, of course.

#1  Qalamoun is a sideshow. The Rebels are coming from the north and east.

I don't think Assad has long left. If he doesn't suffer an unfortunate accident, a Russian ship in Tartus would appear his best bet.

The T4 airbase appears the next domino to fall.
