BEIRUT: Hezbollah detonated a car bomb rigged with half a ton of explosives Saturday in an area of Syria’s Qalamoun region it captured one day earlier, the party’s TV channel reported.

“The resistance’s mujahideen have detonated a car that had been rigged with more than 500kg of highly explosive material on the Fatleh crossing in Qalamoun,” the channel said.

The Fatleh crossing connects the Syrian village of Ras al-Maara to the outskirts of the Lebanese border town of Nahleh.

Al-Manar had announced Friday that Hezbollah and Syrian army forces seized the post from jihadi fighters, along with the entire area of Jabal al-Barouh where the crossing is located.
