Hezbollah, Syrian army seize hilltop in Qalamoun

Hezbollah and the Syrian army seized on Saturday a hilltop on the outskirts of the town of Fleita in the Syrian al-Qalamoun region.

The al-Manar TV station reported that Hezbollah fighters, backed by Syrian regime troops, captured the Sadr al-Bustan hilltop.

Tens of the al-Qaeda-affiliate al-Nusra Front's militants were reportedly killed in the fierce battles.

On Friday, Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah claimed that the party managed to "liberate dozens of square kilometers" of land in al-Qalamoun, pushing back the al-Nusra Front and its allies.

Hezbollah claims it is fighting in Syria to avert extremist groups from entering Lebanon.
