Hezbollah claims to have driven the Al-Nusra Front from the strategic Umm Khorj outpost in Lebanon's eastern mountain range.
“The jihadist fighters of the resistance (Hezbollah) captured the post which stands at 2,300 meters above sea level and constitutes a strategic hill that overlooks the mountains of Assal al-Ward, al-Khashaat and al-Jibbeh in Qalamoun,” the sources said.
