Later on Wednesday, Hezbollah and the Syrian army took over the Marawih district in south Zabadani and continued to advance toward neighborhoods in the area, where they seized a driving school and several residential buildings all the way to Barada, Zabadani.

Several insurgents were also killed when Hezbollah destroyed a militant vehicle on Al-Barja road along the Lebanese border.

The video below also shows corpses of the terrorists. Sources said that at least 56 militants were killed in the clashes with the allied forces.

The Syrian army and Hezbollah fighters advanced towards the town of Zabadani, sources said earlier in the day, adding that the allied forces seized control of Darb Kalassah and Darb Hasbah on the outskirts of Zabadani.

Over the past two weeks, the Syrian army and Hezbollah have managed to liberate some strategic locations inside Zabadani and the operation continues to clear the militants from the central parts of the city.
