The battles in a Syrian mountainous range near the Lebanese borders are intensifying amid a progress made by the Syrian government troops and the Lebanese Hezbollah group, a source familiar with the situation told Xinhua on Monday.
The Syrian troops on Thursday thwarted an infiltration attempt by the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front in the al-Qalamoun region north of the capital Damascus, killing 57 of them, according to the state news agency SANA.
