Arsal-Zabadani-Qalamoun front will be the highlight taking over the New York-Geneva negotiations importance. And Hizbullah will be the main part of the potential battles in this geographic region located on Lebanese-Syrian borders.

Al-Rai Kuwaiti daily quoted axes leaders of the defiance axis in the joint operations room, which includes leaders from the Syrian army and Hizbullah and supervises the mangement and the planning of the military operations in Syria, as saying that, "The current situation in Arsal outskirts, Qalamoun, Zabadani mounts and Sarghaya has reached a dangerous level that cannot be ignored, therefore the battles are around the corner."
"This region has turned out to be a center for at least 20,000 of the fiercest fighters from takfiris groups linked to Islam Brigade and The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)," the leaders said.

The leaders also pointed out that the region is being used as a main center and a logistic supply line for passing munitions and arms. Gunmen gather in the region to plan the attack on Damascus after they have moved their operation room from Ghouta to al-Zabadani.
