Hezbollah says will attack Nusra Front inside Syria
BEIRUT - Hezbollah's leader said on Tuesday his Lebanon-based militant group will launch an attack inside Syria against al-Qaeda-linked insurgents in the mountain region along the countries' border.
Local media and Syrian opposition have speculated that such an assault could start within days in the Qalamoun area, and Hezbollah fighters clashed with gunmen from the same Syria-based insurgent group, Nusra Front, in a different border zone on Tuesday.
The attack "will announce itself when it happens," Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech. It would be in Qalamoun, but "as for its goal, place or where it will extend to.. This ...we do not declare now."
