Syria, Hezbollah seize full control over Zabadani plains
2015-07-22
[Iran Press TV] Syrian troops and fighters of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah have established full control over some strategic areas on the outskirts of the Syrian border town of Zabadani.

Syria's official SANA news agency said Tuesday that the allied forces managed to retake the Sahl Zabadani region, which is located around 45 kilometers north of the capital Damascus.

A statement by the Syrian army said the allied forces are now in full control of Zabadani's southern entrances as well as a road leading to Lake Barada.

A highly strategic region along Syria's border with Leb, Sahl Zabadani is also home to lakes and basins which supply water to the urban population in the Syrian capital.

For more than ten days, the Takfiri

terrorist groups had disrupted the flow of Barada's water to more than six million people in Damascus in a bid to stop the advance of Hezbollah and Syrian forces in Sahl Zabadani.

The SANA report said that Syrian fighter jets managed to completely destroy a number of myrmidons' hideouts, killing scores of them, including six chief members of the Nusra Front terrorist group.

Heavy festivities, however, are still continuing between Hezbollah fighters and forces of Evil south of Zabadani while members of the Lebanese group advance toward the Saylan neighborhood further to the center of the city.

Late on Monday, Hezbollah fighters and Syrian troops seized control of Darb Kalassah and Darb Hasbah on the outskirts of Zabadani, killing scores of holy warriors and capturing tens of others.
