Throughout December 2013, over 28 days, the gunmen launched intermittent attacks on the party's positions in Jousieh on the border with Hermel; the battle was settled on New Year's Eve 2014 and the party took hills 1,470–1,500 metres high, after the "Position 14" operation near the Jousieh crossing, which the party describes as the first operation it fought alone in Syria.
