The Al-Otaiba Ambush was a successful military operation carried out by Hezbollah against al-Nusra terrorists in East Ghouta, near Damascus, during the Syrian war.
Hezbollah fighters under the command of Shahid Mustafa Badreddine mined an entire road with several IEDs, and waited for a column of hundreds of terrorists to approach the road, which had been under surveillance for days.
When the Al-Nusra terrorists finally marched onto the designated road, Hezbollah detonated the IEDs and opened heavy machine gun fire on the survivors.
Almost 200 terrorists were killed in the ambush, making it one of the best planned and most successful ambushes by a non-state actor in military history.
