BEIRUT, July 10 (Xinhua) -- The Syrian Air force jets targeted at dawn Monday positions of the al-Qaeda linked al-Nusra Front militant group in the northeastern border town of Arsal, the National News Agency reported.
The raids come one day after similar strikes carried out on Sunday where Syrian fighter jets bombed the al-Kassarat area.
Similar raids had targeted the area in recent days.
The development comes amid reports that Hezbollah is preparing to launch a military campaign aimed at ousting the Islamic State militants and the al-Fateh al-Sham Front jihadist group from the area.
