Syria militants attack Hezbollah positions in Lebanon: FSA

from Press TV

The armed militant groups in Syria say they have started to attack the positions of Hezbollah resistance movement in neighboring Lebanon since February 21.

The self-proclaimed Free Syrian Army said its militants launched the attack less than a day after they accused Hezbollah of shelling militant bases in Syria’s Homs province on February 20.

“We have bombed the territories of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria. The Free Syrian Army will continue bombing these positions,” Hisam al-Avvak, a commander of the armed group, told Turkey’s Anatolia News Agency on Thursday.

The assaults took place while the militants had given Hezbollah 48 hours to halt the alleged shelling, threatening to attack after two days.

However, the Lebanese movement has rejected the accusations.

He also reiterated threats that the militants would target Hezbollah strongholds located south of the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

On February 18, Syria’s Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul Karim Ali said Hezbollah was not assisting the Syrian army in the fight against foreign-backed militants.

A recent UN report revealed that militants from nearly 30 countries have infiltrated into Syria to fight against the Syrian government.
