Syrian opposition factions destroyed a Hezbollah military position and killed a number of its commanders and fighters in the town of Qamhana in central Syria’s Hama district on Sunday, Sky News Arabia reported Monday according to naharnet.com.
According to field sources, the opposition fighters targeted the position with guided missiles, which led to the destruction and the killing of all Hezbollah fighters inside, asserting that among them were field commanders, according to Sky News.
On Saturday, opposition factions managed to counter a large-scale military offensive by Iranian government and armed forces in the northern Hama countryside.
The opposition said in a statement that the government forces tried to regain control of al-Sakher checkpoint but turned back after suffering heavy losses.
The opposition pointed out that the clashes resulted in the death of a number of government forces, and the destruction of a tank.
The developments coincide with the battle in Raqqa, led by Syria’s Democratic Forces, to restore the city from the grip of the Islamic State group.
On Sunday, the US-backed Democratic Forces of Syria controlled a military airport, which was subordinate to the IS, and is located near the largest dam in Syria on the Euphrates River.
