Syrian army, allies seize strategic hill on Lebanon-Syria border

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian army and Hezbollah fighters seized on Wednesday a strategic hill seen as the most important target in an offensive along the Lebanon-Syria border, Hezbollah said. By seizing Talat Moussa, Hezbollah would have scored a significant advance in its offensive to drive insurgents including members of the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front from the Qalamoun mountain range. "The Syrian army and the resistance fighters totally control the hill," the group said. (Writing by Mariam Karouny)
