Hezbollah crushes ISIS in eastern Lebanon

The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) has had a horrible week in eastern Lebanon, thanks in large part to the Lebanese Resistance’s (Hezbollah) unwillingness to yield any ground to the encroaching terrorists in the Ras Ba’albak and Jaroud Qa’a area of the Beqa’a Governorate.
However, the severe loss of life to the Lebanese Resistance did not seem to phase the ISIS command; instead, they decided to intensify each attack with an increase in manpower, which would ultimately prove to be unwise as they suffered 45+ casualties in the Beqa’a Governorate over the last 72 hours.

On Thursday morning, the situation did not get any better for ISIS in eastern Lebanon, as their decision to strike the town of Jaroud Al-Qa’a near the Syrian border-crossing left them with over 20+ combatants dead and several others wounded.

Unable to recover from their first failed assault this morning, ISIS was forced to retreat towards Jaroud ‘Arsal in order to evade Hezbollah’s mortar shells and their disciplined snipers that tend to pick-off terrorists lurking around the area.
More importantly, Hezbollah has proven to be one of the most effective forces against ISIS in both Syria and Lebanon; this is something that is often dismissed by anti-Hezbollah publications in the West and the Gulf.

Most of the recruits for ISIS cant tell one end of a gun from another. Watching them on tv a decently t
rained army could walk over them in no time.
witch begs the question, why hasn't one?

The Iran-backed Shia terrorist group Hezbollah has lost an estimated 1,300 to 1,500 soldiers, more than one-third of its force, while fighting against rebels and the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) in Syria on behalf of dictator Bashar al-Assad, according to Israeli experts.

Since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, another 5,000 Hezbollah jihadists have been wounded, analysts reportedly said.
“The group released statistics regarding its progress in the battle zone recently and has not tried to hide its losses…a stark contrast to the Shia Islamist terror group’s operating principles when the war began,” reports Arutz Sheva, citing the Hebrew-language Walla! News website.
Over the weekend, Lebanese news outlets reportedly published photos of 14 Hezbollah terrorists killed by the Islamic State near the Syria-Lebanon border.
Among the photos were images purportedly showing the dead Shia jihadists at their funerals, draped in the yellow and green flag of the Lebanon-based Hezbollah group. ISIS also incurred dozens of casualties at the hands of Hezbollah, Lebanon media outlets reportedly claim.
