Lebanese Resistance: Battle with Nusra Front Terrorists in Arsal Barrens Is almost over

BEIRUT-Operations Command of Hezbollah Lebanese resistance announced on Monday that the battle in Arsal Highlands is “almost over”.

In a statement released on Monday, Hezbollah Military Media Center called on Takfiri militants to surrender and hand over their arms.

“The battle with Nusra Front is almost over. We call upon all militants in Arsal Highlands to prevent bloodshed and hand over their arms,” the center said, according to al-Manar TV website.

 Hezbollah fighters launched last Friday an operation to cleanse Arsal Highlands from Nusra Front Takfiri terrorists. The resistance fighters are backed by Lebanese army.

On Sunday, Hezbollah Military Media Center announced that the resistance fighters control 70 percent of Arsal Highlands.

Lebanese resistance fighters took control of Wadi Al-Owaini, which is considered an important post of Nusra terrorists.

The center added that Hezbollah fighters took control of Shubat Al-Qalaa, east of Arsal Highlands, noting that the post is strategic since it is the highest in the area.

It also reported that heavy losses were inflicted upon the Takfiri terrorists, noting that 46 Nusra terrorists have been  killed in Arsal Highlands, while 23 others have been killed in Flita barrens in Syria’s West Qalamoun since the start of the battle early on Friday.
