Report: Nasrallah in Military Fatigues during Visit to Party Fighters on Border with Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has reportedly visited his party's fighters on the Lebanese-Syrian border dressed in military fatigues in a strong show of support.
Al-Liwaa newspaper said Friday that Nasrallah met the fighters in their posts after he visited some families in the eastern Bekaa Valley to extend condolences to the party members who were killed in battles with extremist groups.
Hizbullah has sent fighters to Syria to back President Bashar Assad's forces against rebels trying to remove him from power. The armed intervention in Syria earned the Shiite group the enmity of Syria's predominantly Sunni rebels. Assad is a member of the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
Over the past year, Syrian troops and Hizbullah fighters have captured most of the towns and villages in Syria's mountainous Qalamun region along the Lebanon border, depriving the rebels of residential areas where they can stay during the winter.
Hizbullah fighters have also clashed with jihadists, who infiltrated Lebanese territories.
Last week, al-Qaida's Syrian affiliate, al-Nusra Front, attacked positions manned by Hizbullah on the outskirts of Brital, killing several of its fighters.
There have been reports of other skirmishes between Hizbullah and militants along the Lebanon-Syria border.
According to al-Liwaa, Nasrallah told the fighters during his visit to the Bekaa that there was “a big plot against the resistance, which will fight in any region to defend itself.”
The Hizbullah secretary-general also said that his party was “fully ready to confront the adventures of takfiris and Israelis.”
On Tuesday, several local newspapers quoted Nasrallah as telling his party's cadres in the Bekaa that “victory will be the ally of the mujahideen in their battle against takfiri and terrorist groups the same way it was their ally in the confrontation with the Israeli enemy.”
Friday's report in al-Liwaa was likely mentioning the same visit that Nasrallah did to eastern Lebanon.
Nasrallah, who lives in hiding, has made few public appearances since his group fought a 34-day war with Israel in 2006 for fear of assassination by the Jewish state.

Naharnet keeps insisting of simplifying the regions war as a Sunni-Shia War. Simpletons.
The real war is between those who want to destroy the resistance to Israel (Iran,Syria, Hezbollah), and the ones who are Pro-US/Israel (Saudi, Qatar, Turkey).
Lets not simplify it to wondering if Shiism is a more profound sect than Sunnism or vice versa. This is not a theological war. There is no philosophy of ethics here.

wow! so when your resistance slaughters people in Syria to the tunes of Ya Hussain or Ya Zainab, it is all about the resistance versus the anti-resistance axis. Your alias fits you like a glove by the way.

A show of pure weakness, disorientation, and panic. Why is a "moderate", "tolerant", and "non-takfiri" RELIGIOUS man dressed up in military fatigues?!

The ones in Riyagh and Me3rab do not have a militia and never promised to liberate Jeruslaem from Lebanon. But, excellent and meaningful comment relevant to the article.

Spoken like a true biased sectarian. Killing in the name of religion is wrong be the killers Sunni, Shia or Christians.
Besides, why drag Sunni tribes I to your tirade? And please, a true Lebanese you are not whoever you are.

Nasrallah in Military Fatigues during Visit to Party Fighters on Border with Syria
Very smart and motivating move for the fighters!
whether someone is with him or against him, one has to admit that he's a true leader !
same thing applies to Bashir Gemayel (so that my comment doesn't get as sided with one party)

Bashir defended his country and did not invade other countries! Stop comparing someone who defended his existence to someone eradicating the existence of others.

Wow hassan having to go there in person it's true what he said he'll even go there himself if he's needed and with all the mujahideens he's losing while performing their jihadist duties he's probably is. On top of that the moral must be very low with unfortunate resevists who are finding themselves having to face the crazies when they thought they'd be just enjoying the fresh mountain air while taking great picture in full Rambo gear to empress the young hajjeats on Facebook.

Yes, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan’s apprentice.

Sayed Hassan, I am never against your militia fighting to defend Lebanon, but against them fighting in Syria. Then let nothing be done at the expense of Lebanon or of its people. Just be kind enough to spare us them long speeches.

I'm really curious if there are any pictures of this... what does Sayyed Hassan look like in uniform? Would he still wear a turban?? How long is the hair on his head?
