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.
