The Syrian town of Yabroud which sits near the border between Syria and Lebanon has been recaptured by government forces. The Assad forces were assisted by Hezbollah fighters in recapturing the town after besieging the town since mid February. This was the last rebel controlled town near the Syria/Lebanon border and was important for the control of supply routs. In Lebanon, there has been a suicide car bombing in the Al-Nabi Othman village with two groups (the al-Nusra front in Lebanon and the Liwa Ahrar al-Sunna group in Baalbek) claiming responsibility, but both claim it to be in response to Hezbollah's involvement in Syria.
