Syrian Army, Hezbollah Advance in Zabadani, Kill over 19 Militants
KABUL: (Middle East Press) The Syrian armed forces and the Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement continue haunting the rebel fighters and recapturing new areas in Zabadani, killing 19 militants and wounding tens more in the battlefronts.
The sources said that the Syrian Army’s 63rd Brigade of the 4th Mechanized Division and Hezbollah units continue to inch their way to the nearly untouched Mahata Roundabout – an area under the control of Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and their allies from Al-Nusra Front and the so-called Free Syrian Army’s “Liwaa Suqour Zabadani”.
The joint forces of the Syrian Amy’s 63rd Brigade and Hezbollah attempted to expedite the conclusion of this intense battle for Al-Zabadani by storming the defensive positions of the rebel units of Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and Al-Nusra Front at the Zabadani Bridge and the Sharif Al-Idrissi School on Al-Ra’eesi Street near the city-center.
Not long after they launched this powerful attack, the Syrian Armed Forces and Lebanese Resistance imposed full-control over the Zabadani Bridge and the Sharif Al-Idrissi School, following a series of intense firefights with Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and Al-Nusra Front, killing 19 rebels.
In addition to the Syrian Armed Forces and Lebanese Resistance’s success at Zabadani, a total of 8 enemy combatants surrendered to the Syrian army before nightfall on Monday; that equates to 16 surrendered fighters in 24 hours.
