Hezbollah has succeeded in capturing the most vital mountaintop of Tal Al-Moussa in the Qalamoun Mountains after engaging the militants from the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra” in a fierce firefight at this rugged area that overlooking the Lebanese province of Ba’albak.
Tal Al-Moussa holds a strategic advantage for the group that controls it because it is not only the highest point in the Qalamoun Mountains; it is also strategically located near the Lebanese border-crossing at the ‘Arsal District of the Ba’albak Governorate.
