BEIRUT (AP)—Syrian government forces seized a town from rebels near the Lebanese border on Saturday, their latest attempt to cut off opposition fighters’ fluid supply lines from the country, state media and activists said.

The fighting in Zara came as President Bashar Assad marked the 51st anniversary of his ruling Baath party’s ascent to power, vowing to strengthen relations with international allies that have provided his main backing over the past three tumultuous years.

“The [Baath] leadership’s efforts are concentrated on strengthening the alliance with friendly countries such as Russia, Iran and China,” state TV quoted Assad as telling a group of local Baath party leaders from the suburbs of Damascus.

Iran is Assad’s strongest regional ally, extending him billions of dollars in credit since the crisis began in March 2011. The United States, Saudi Arabia and several countries in the Persian Gulf suspect Tehran is also shipping him weapons.

Russia, backed by China, has repeatedly used veto power at the U.N. Security Council to block Western resolutions calling for sanctions against Assad’s government.

The President stressed that his government will continue reconciliation efforts along with fighting “terrorism,” referring to some areas where rebels turned over weapons in exchange for an easing of blockades that have prevented food, medicine and other staples from reaching civilians.
