Lebanon's Hezbollah kills al-Nusra front's militants near Baalbek

Dozens of al-Nusra Front's terrorists were killed in overnight clashes with Hezbollah resistance movement in the vicinity of Lebanon's Eastern town of Baalbek. Al-Nusra terrorists were going to set up missile batteries near Lebanon-Syria borders when they entered into clashes with Hezbollah fighters, Lebanon's security sources said. One Hezbollah fighter was also killed and four others wounded in the clashes. The clashes came after a barrage of rockets fired by armed militants in Syria at Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon in recent days, Alalam news channel reported. Lebanon's Hermel and Baalbek which are located near Syria's Homs province have been experiencing unrest in the past couple of months. In a televised speech earlier, Hezbollah's chief Seyed Hassan Nasrallah said his movement is committed to protect the Lebanese people from any threat.
