RNA - The sources said that the resistance forces engaged in fierce clashes with Al-Nusra and imposed control over several heights, including al-Qariyeh, in Arsal.

Military sources said Hezbollah's dominance over al-Qariyeh will help restore security to the regions around mountainous areas.

The sources also confirmed that 95 percent of Arsal heights have been liberated and the Al-Nusra Front only controls a small portion of the heights and is almost left with no other choice but to surrender.

Meantime, ISIL terrorists have come under the siege of resistance forces in the Northern passage of Arsal and their supply lines have also been cut.

Relevant reports said on Tuesday that the resistance forces clashed fiercely with Al-Nusra and took control over the heights and positons of Wadi Komeil, Wadi Hamoudi, Maka'ah al-Feran, al-Bider, Sho'abat al-Nahleh and Wadi Zalil al-Barak.

The Hezbollah forces also fortified their positions in areas surrounding al-Malahi region.

According to some field reports, negotiations are underway for the surrender of Al-Nusra's Commander in Arsal heights Abu Malik al-Tali.

The General Command of the Resistance Operation in Lebanon confirmed earlier today that the Lebanese Hezbollah fighters' war on Al-Nusra Front in Arsal heights is on verge of ending after inflicting major losses on the terrorists in the last couple of days.
