  • Hezbollah drone pounds terrorist positions in Syria's Aleppo

The Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah, has carried out drone strikes on foreign-backed terrorists in the northwestern Syrian province of Aleppo.

The War Media Center, which is affiliated with Hezbollah, tweeted on Tuesday that a "resistance-operated aircraft accurately struck several militant targets in the town of Khalsa," located in Aleppo's southern countryside.

The center further released a video showing the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hitting three targets, including a pick-up truck, a command post and a gathering center for the militants.

The footage is taken by a camera attached to the drone operated by Hezbollah.

In one scene, two bombs, which do not appear to be guided, were dropped over a target directly below the UAV.

It was the first time that Hezbollah acknowledged that it was deploying drones in its fight against the militants in Syria.

Hezbollah had previously used drones to target positions held by the Jabhat Fath al-Sham terrorist group – formerly known as al-Nusra Front – in the Lebanese town of Arsal.
