Syrian Military Source Rejects Clashes between Terrorists, Lebanese Hezbollah

TEHRAN (FNA)- A Syrian military source on Monday rejected some media news reports alleging that there have been armed clashes between Lebanon's Hezbollah and the Syrian terrorists in the country's Central Homs province.

Some media, including the Israeli press, had earlier claimed that there had been armed clashes between the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) terrorists and Lebanon's Hezbollah Movement. The Syrian military source denied the false claims that the Lebanese Hezbollah has clashed with FSA terrorists, al-Ahd news website reported. The source, however, said that the Syrian army killed more than 60 terrorists and injured tens of others in clashes with FSA in the suburbs of al-Qasr region in Homs on Sunday night. Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country. Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes. The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad. Turkey along with the US, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been supporting terrorists and rebel groups in Syria and have practically brought a UN peace initiative into failure to bring President Assad's government into collapse.
