Hezbollah, Syrian Army Seizes Blocs in Western Zabadani
2015-09-09
[ALMANAR.LB] Fighters of the Islamic Resistance of Leb - Hezbollah - and the Syrian army forces continued on Tuesday to launch wide-scale operations against the terrorist organizations' hotbeds, positions and hideouts in the southern Syrian city of Zabadani, killing scores of their members and injuring others.

Hezbollah and the Syrian military established control over al-Mas district, as well as certain blocs in Al-Zahra neighborhood and the Bridge roundabout in west of the city, making new advance in terms of tightening the noose around the remaining Lions of Islam in central city, located to the northwest of Damascus.

A military source told SANA news agency that the terrorist organizations lost all of their positions to the last one in the district, noting that a facility for making bombs was found during the combing operations.

#1  the battle for Zabadani (which is about 30 miles north/northeast of Damascus and within 10 miles of the Lebanon border)has been going on for over a month

if Assad and Hezbollah were to lose zabadani, it would be a devastating blow - the fact that the anti assad forces have held out so long is itself very bad for the govt and Hezbollah
