DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. August 29, 2015, 11:43 AM (IDT)
A brief ceasefire Friday night in the battle for the Syrian town of Zabadani near the Lebanese border and two Shiite villages, Kefraya and Foua, to the north, broke down early Saturday in renewed shelling, air strikes and clashes, Syrian opposition groups report. The truce, the second this month, was negotiated between the Syrian army and the Lebanese group Hezbollah, fighting for more than a month to recover Zabadani, and Syrian rebels holding the town.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
