Hizbullah Reportedly Incurs Very Heavy Casualties in Aleppo Province
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah has suffered very heavy casualties in the southern countryside of the northern Syrian province of Aleppo, incurring the highest toll of deaths and injuries since the 2013 Qusayr battle, Syrian opposition activists have announced.
The party has lost at least 25 fighters in the clashes that have been raging for several days, the activists said, amid official announcements by the party about its deaths and reports about the disappearance of several members whose fate is still unknown.
“Hizbullah and the Iranians are dismayed by the fact that the Russian warplanes are not supporting them,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has reported, noting that the Syrian army and its allies “might anytime lose the town of al-Hader south of Aleppo should the absence of Russia's aerial support continue.”
According to Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman, at least 186 combatants from both sides have been killed since Tuesday – 86 from the regime and its allies, including 25 Hizbullah members, and 100 anti-regime Islamist fighters.
“The factions of the (al-Nusra Front-led) Army of Conquest seized the town of Khalsa and moved to Zitan and Birna before liberating them within only a few hours,” the opposition Sham News Network reported, adding that “more than 50 members of the Shiite militias were killed in the three towns.”
“Rebel forces are advancing towards the town of al-Hader and amassing their fighters around it,” the network said, noting that “the town is the main stronghold of the Iranian forces and the foreign militias that operate under their command.”
Hizbullah's intervention in the Syrian conflict alongside regime forces has helped Damascus achieve several military victories and allowed the party to clear most of the Lebanese-Syrian border region from rebels and jihadists.
Since 2013, the Lebanese, Iran-backed party has sent thousands of combatants -- between 5,000 and 6,000, according to the expert on Hizbullah Waddah Sharara -- to help the regime fight both rebels and jihadists.
They send 2,000 fighters at a time in rotation, Sharara says.
Experts say Hizbullah has lost 1,000 to 2,000 fighters in the conflict, including senior commanders.

Do you believe it now that the Russian planes can't help? Street fighting you lose, same as Israel attacking your town in the south, you're trying to invade their towns? Go back to your country and pledge legion to your state versus the Iranian and Syria state.

"Pure Saudi propaganda all the way"
The same propaganda that reported badreddine's death, mughniyyeh's death and his 2 sons, and the other 1,500 hezbollah's deaths in syria. So, enjoy!

رمزي مغنية على رأسهم.. حزب الله يفقد 31 قتيلاً بـ 5 أيام بحلب
فقدت ميليشيا "حزب الله" اللبناني 31 عنصراً خلال خمسة أيام من معارك ريف حلب الجنوبي التي أحرز الثوار فيها تقدماً واضحاً كان آخرها في "خلصة، وزيتان".
وفقد الحزب بحسب موقع "الجزيرة" 16 مسلحاً في معارك ريف حلب الجنوبي وعلى رأسهم، القيادي في الحزب "رمزي مغنية"، كما قتل الخميس الماضي عنصران للحزب جنوبي حلب، وذلك بعد مقتل أربعة من عناصر الحزب وخمسة مقاتلين سوريين بلدتي نبل والزهراء الثلاثاء جراء استهداف موقعهم في خان طومان قرب حلب بصاروخ موجه أطلقه مقاتلو المعارضة.
وبذلك يرتفع عدد قتلى الحزب منذ الثلاثاء الماضي إلى 31 مسلحا سقطوا في المواجهات مع المعارضة السورية المسلحة، بينهم خمسة سوريون متطوعون مع الحزب.

How Sad.... How Awful..... 25 resistance fighters perished in Aleppo! but why? What did these freedom fighters do to deserve such a humiliating and painful end? Is it because they believe in freedom or is it because they committed themselves to fighting radicalism and terrorism across the globe? Why is the free world silent? Why are human rights organizations watching this debacle? I have not stopped crying ever since I read this article. How am I supposed to enjoy the NBA finals tonight? this is ain't fair.....

Hezbollah are sending boys and men to the slaughter in Syria for the sake of Iranian power and prestige. Meanwhile Iran is buying 100 Boeings from the "great satan"!!!
These indoctrinated Lebanese are blinded by Hezbollah's propaganda the way the Hitler youth were in Germany towards the end of the second world war.
Hezbollah, like ISIS, attracts young people by giving purpose to their lives, infecting them with hate and making them think that they are saving the world while in fact serving as fodder for a very deceptive Iranian agenda.
I am sure that very soon voices of dissent within Hezbollah's "reservoir of martyrs" will rise and will grow louder and louder.
It is one thing to fight an occupier and totally another to be an occupier.

Anyone foolish enough to follow Iran and their lies has got to be blind.
