Syrian army and Hezbollah fighters took control of a strategic neighborhood in Zabadani, tightening the grip on the Takfiri terrorists in the city.

Military Media in the Lebanese resistance movement reported on Monday that the allied forces were in full control of az-Zahra neighborhood and the Western Neighborhood.

The area from Az-Zahra Castle Mosque to Barada Mosque, which lies west if Zabadani is liberated, Military Media said.

Seizing theses neighborhoods helps the allied forces to further tighten grip on the Takfiri terrorists, since the area are densely populated and contain many slams and narrow roads, sources told al-Manar.

Meanwhile, the Military Media reported that five of Ahrar al-Sham (Takfiri group fighting in Zabadani) militants handed themselves to the allied force in Zabadani’s north.

The Syrian army and Hezbollah have been since July 4 engaged in the battle of Zabadani, the last city under the control of terrorists in the Qalamoun region on the Lebanese border.

The ongoing battle is part of a wider operation launched by the Syrian forces and the resistance movement’s fighters on May 4, which has reportedly driven militants out of more than 90 percent of the territory in the mountainous region.
