Hezbollah is strengthening its military hold near Damascus and in the Kalmon Mountains on the border of Syria and Lebanon. Western military observers report this. In the south of Damascus near the area of the tomb of the Shiite prophetess Sayida Zainab Sayyidah Zaynab Hezbollah forces took over several buildings and turned them into a military base.
in the Kalmon Mountains area Qalamoun Located north of Damascus and constituting the area where the Syria-Lebanon border passes, Hezbollah forces forced several Syrian villagers to sell them their agricultural farms. Now these farms have become Hezbollah bases. Pro-Iranian Shiite militias have also recently bought agricultural farms in the Kalmon Mountains area and turned them into military bases.
