At least 16 fighters were killed in clashes between Syrian
rebels and Leba**n's Shiite militant group Hezbollah on the Lebanese
border over the weekend, a monitoring group said Monday. "Seven members of Hezbollah were killed and 31 wounded" in the clashes which raged from Saturday until Sunday night, said Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. He told AFP that the Syrian
rebels lost nine fighters and 23 of them were wounded in the
battle waged in an undemarcated area of the
border between Qalamun in Syria and Leba**n's Arsal. Hezbollah initiated the showdown in a bid to rid the region of rebel fighters following a string of daily clashes, said Abdel Rahman.
