I've Been Thinking:
Fighting has picked up between Hezbollah and ISIS and al Nusrah. I expect that the fighting will continue throughout the summer.
Battles are taking place north of Damascus in a mountain area called Qalamoun. It is actually a mountain range. The Qalamoun Mountain Range.
The area borders Lebanon and Syria. The Lebanese border sticks out into Syria like a finger.
Media has reported that Hezbollah lost 40 fighters in these battles.
Hezbollah does not usually respond to these reports - instead, they report their own story on their own TV and radio stations as well as on the websites. They set the record according to their own point of view.
Hezbollah says that they lost 4 fighters and that their families have been informed.
This region is significant. Whoever controls the little finger controls the mountain passes which descend straight down to the Mediterranean Sea.
