Syrian Army Recaptures Terrain on Lebanese Border
From al-Nusra Terrorists
The Syrian Army,
together with Hezbollah, won the battle against al-Nusra Front and freed
the mountainous area around the town of Fleita near Jurud Arsal on the
eastern slopes of the Calamun mountain near the Syrian-Lebanon border.
The
success of the Syrian Army and its allies is explained by the high
speed of the operation, good maneuverability and the poorly organized
defense of the terrorists.
The features of the mountainous terrain with its large number of heights and hidden paths were taken into account, as well.
A field commander of the Syrian Army told
Sputnik, “It took 24 hours in total to break the terrorists' defense and
knock them off their positions.”
As a result, the enemy's forces suffered heavy losses and lost
control over the strategic routes connecting Arsal and Jurud-Fleita,
through which weapons from Lebanon were supplied into Syria, the source
said.

Since the beginning of the counterterrorist operation in this region, the Syrian Army has taken control of 36 square kilometers of territory, eliminating more than 70 al-Nusra fighters.
The Jurud Arsal’s topography is tough and the battle against al-Nusra Front was a challenging one, according to an anonymous source.
“Al-Nusra was entrenched in its hilltops and
valleys, turning these areas into combat facilities that even airplanes
couldn’t reach,” the source added.
Jurud Arsal, which is a mountainous area around the Lebanese border
town of Arsal, is mostly barren, but it is home to tens of thousands
of Syrian refugees who live in and around the town, some in camps.
