Hezbollah Repels IS Attack on Lebanon-Syria Border

Source: AP

The TV station of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group says they have repelled an attack by Islamic State group fighters in an area on the Lebanon-Syria border.

Al-Manar TV says Tuesday's attack left several IS fighters dead or wounded and three vehicles, including a bulldozer, destroyed.

Hezbollah has been on the offensive in Syria's Qalamoun mountains for weeks and has captured territory from al-Qaida's branch in Syria, the Nusra Front.

Al-Manar said the IS attack targeted several Hezbollah positions outside the Lebanese border village of Ras Baalbek.
