Nusra Front says repelled Hezbollah attack in Lebanon's Bekaa

2^min

The Nusra Front said via Twitter on Monday that the group repelled an attack by the Lebanese Shi'ite group Hezbollah in Nahle's barren range, noting that the group suffered many casualties.

At least 16 insurgents from al Qaeda's Syrian wing, the Nusra Front, were killed in clashes with Shi'ite group Hezbollah in eastern Lebanon on Sunday after launching a major offensive, a source close to Hezbollah said.

"There are at least 16 dead from Nusra Front," the source said, adding that Hezbollah reinforcements from the eastern Bekaa region of Lebanon had joined in the battles.

Hezbollah had issued a call on Sunday to its fighters to defend the area, the source close to Hezbollah and other security officials said. Hezbollah's al-Manar television reported late on Sunday that the group had pushed back the insurgents over the border and the clashes had ended.
