Hezbollah fighters ambushed a Nusra Front convoy on the outskirts of an east Lebanon border town Tuesday, killing at least a dozen militants, a Lebanese security source said.

The source told The Daily Star that Hezbollah fighters also destroyed six vehicles belonging to the Al-Qaeda affiliate in the ambush in a Syrian village east of the Lebanese border enclave of Tfail.

A separate security source said that fighting was ongoing on the outskirts of Tfail and the eastern Lebanese border town of Brital.
