Alwaght- Hezbollah resistance movement has confirmed its combat drones are pounding ISIS Takfiri terrorists in Syria’s strategic Qalamoun region near the border with Lebanon.
In a statement on Monday, Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement stated that it deployed the drones to hit ISIS positions, bunkers, and fortifications in the area, located about 330 kilometers north of the Syrian capital Damascus.
Video footage released by the media unit, seemingly taken from a drone, showed two types of missiles, one of them with a tail fin, cruising towards the ground and subsequent explosions as they struck the designated targets.
Earlier on Monday, Hezbollah’s media bureau reported that the Lebanese resistance fighters and Syrian government forces have wrested complete control over Shoubat al-Dowab and Shoubat Beit Shuker heights in the western outskirts of Qalamoun.
It added that Hezbollah fighters and Syrian army soldiers are now in control of the strategic Qornat Shoubat Aakko district near al-Jarajir village in Syria’s southwestern province of Rif Dimashq.
On Saturday, Hezbollah and the Syrian army launched an operation to purge Qalamoun from ISIS terrorists.
Last month, Hezbollah concluded a joint counter-terrorism campaign with the Syrian army at Lebanon’s highlands of Arsal.
The terrorists of the al-Nusra Front group, recently renaming itself Fateh al-Sham, withdrew from Arsal following a series of consecutive defeats that forced them to agree to a ceasefire deal.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese army units continued on Monday its operations aimed at liberating Ras Baalbek and al-Qaa northeastern outskirts from ISIS terrorists, regaining more heights in the area and besieging the militants in al-Miri area.
The Lebanese Army engineering units continued dismantling operations in line with Fajr al-Joroud offensive against ISIS terrorists on the northeastern border, shelling the posts of the takfiri terrorists.
On Saturday, a spokesman for the Lebanese army, Brigadier General Ali Qansowa, said that the military operations would continue until ISIS terrorists were expelled from Lebanese territory.
