Hezbollah has reportedly destroyed Daesh positions entrenched on the outskirts of the Lebanese-Syrian border town of Ras Baalbek and al-Zwaytineh, al-Manar TV said on Saturday.
The TV station said that Hezbollah fighters bombarded two positions during the attack and that several were killed and wounded.
Militants from the al-Qaida-linked al-Nusra Front and the Daesh group are entrenched in rugged mountains along the Lebanese-Syrian border and the Lebanese army regularly shells their positions while Hezbollah and the Syrian army have engaged in clashes with them on the Syrian side of the border.
The two groups overran the town of Arsal in 2014 and engaged in deadly battles with the Lebanese army for several days.
The retreating militants abducted around 35 troops and policemen of whom four have been executed and nine remain in captivity.
