 BEIRUT: Hezbollah-planted land mines and mortar attacks left at least nine Nusra Front militants dead outside an east Lebanon border village Friday, a source close to Hezbollah told The Daily Star.

The incident occurred on Syrian territory on the eastern outskirts of Maaraboun, which is southwest of the border enclave of Tfail, in southern Qalamoun.
Media reports said militants from Al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate were attempting to carry out an attack on Hezbollah positions in Maaraboun when they passed through a minefield.
The mines managed to kill and wound a number of militants. The sound of the blasts alerted nearby Hezbollah fighters of the ambush attempt.
