Tawhid Party Fighters Killed in Syria while Combating 'Takfiris, Terrorists'

Members of the Tawhid Party, which is headed by former MP Wiam Wahhab, were killed in Syria as they were fighting alongside the country's regime, it announced in a statement on Tuesday.

It said that the fighters were killed in a battle in the village of Arna in the Mount Hermon region on Monday.

Hassan Barakeh, Sami Abou Aaqel, Asaad Abou Morra, and Hassan Badreddine were killed in combat.

“The blood of the martyrs will not go to waste as they will continue to haunt the conspirators, takfiris, terrorists, and extremists,” added the statement.

Wahhab had on Monday held talks in Syria with its Grand Mufti Sheikh Ahmed Badreddine Hassoun on the latest developments in the country.

This is the first time that the Tawhid Party announces the death of fighters in Syria.

Hizbullah has been involved in the fighting in Syria, but it does not officially announce the names of its dead.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights estimates that over 170 Hizbullah fighters have been killed in Syria.
