Around 120 fighters from the Lebanese militia Hizbullah have been killed in battles it is fighting alongside the Syrian regime in Yabrud, Qalamoun, the Syrian Observatory for Human rights said Sunday (March 9th).

On Saturday, the army renewed attacks on Yabrud with explosives-laden barrels, AFP reported.

Syrian regime forces backed by Hizbullah fighters began escalating a campaign in the strategic area, which links Damascus to Homs, in February.
