Hezbollah and the Syrian army captured new hills from militants Tuesday in Syria's northern Qalamoun, Al-Manar said.
The Hezbollah-run station reported that party fighters and their Syrian allies captured several posts on the outskirts of the government-held village of Jarajeer.
They seized Shubat al-Bakara, Thalajat al-Burkan and Qurnat Shubat al-Shakara, the report said.
The Nusra Front declared earlier Tuesday on Twitter that it destroyed a tank operated by Hezbollah on the outskirts of the Syrian town of Flita with a Kornet missile, and another vehicle on Arsal's outskirts with a Konkurs missile.
On Monday, Hezbollah and the Syrian army thwarted an ISIS (Daesh) attack in northern Qalamoun, inflicting casualties among the ranks of the group.
They have been battling against militants in the Qalamoun region since May 4.
Earlier this month, Hezbollah advanced into Arsal’s outskirts from the south and east, tightening the noose around Nusra Front militants encamped in the area. North of Arsal, Hezbollah is engaged in fighting with ISIS for control of the outskirts of Ras Baalbek, a Lebanese Christian border town.
After taking over Flita, Hezbollah and the Syrian army launched an offensive to take the outskirts of Jarajeer, which is south of Flita and southeast of Arsal.
