The source said the ambush by Hezbollah took place early Saturday and that the bodies of the slain Nusra Front fighters were in the group’s possession.
A source close to the party identified Ali Dergham Fares as the slain Hezbollah fighter, adding that another member was wounded in the clashes that followed the ambush.
Fighting erupted between the fighters and the Syrian rebels in Wadi al-Jamala, on the outskirts of Nahle, a rugged mountainous area along the porous border between Lebanon and Syria.
Separately, the senior security sources said a Hezbollah fighter was killed in the ongoing fighting in teh Qalamoun region between forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad and rebel groups.
