Qalamoun rebels attack on new front
2015-05-15
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Syrian rebels have attacked Hezbollah on a new front in the ongoing Qalamoun battles amid advances by the Shiite party as it gears up for a "decisive" battle to seize a strategic mountain redoubt.

"Fierce festivities raged between Hezbollah supported by regime troops and National Defense Force Death Eaters on one side and Islamist factions, including the Al-Nusra Front, on the other in the mountainous terrain around Rankous," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Wednesday.

The report added that the festivities began after midnight on Tuesday, while a video posted on YouTube purported to show flares lighting up the night sky over the area.
