The Times: Assad Backed by 1,500 Hizbullah Fighters
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah is “covertly providing men and support to the Assad government and currently has about 1,500 members inside Syria,” British newspaper The Times has quoted a Syrian defector as saying.
The claims come amid reports of Hizbullah fighters, including a senior founder member of the organization, being killed in Syria and buried in Lebanon.
“Despite repeated official Hizbullah denials, interviews with multiple sources – including Shia sources close to Hizbullah, members of the Free Syrian Army and Western diplomats with access to intelligence data – reveal that the organization is providing extensive support to its long-time ally, the Assad regime,” reported The Times.
Quoting a former Syrian air force intelligence agent, who said he obtained the information from his colleagues before defecting in August and moving to Lebanon, the newspaper said 25 buses have recently crossed the Lebanese-Syrian border carrying “hundreds” of Hizbullah members.
The newspaper also accused Hizbullah of backing the embattled Syrian regime with logistical assistance, fighters and equipment, as well as in training the Syrian army's snipers and passing on its expertise in guerrilla warfare to the regime's Shabiha militia.

If this is true, it will be Hezbollah's undoing. When they defend the south against Israel, we are with them 100%. But sending fighters to other countries? It is illegal, immoral, and causes fertile ground for civil war.

Slash, tu vas pas me dire que tu crois en ces balivernes? Tu penses bien que l'accord est tel: Israel garde le Golan, la Syrie prend le Liban. Le reste n'est que de la mise en scene pour implemtenter ces deals. le HA est un accessoire... dangereux mais n'est que cela.
Vivement les elections!

It may likely be that the next 'relief' shipment from Iran to HA will be two containers of body bags.
Let HA self destruct in the process. This is the path they chose, so let them pay for it.

Hizbcocaine will pay for this politically. Any day now he is due for a speech. He will try to defend all of this with the usual twisted logic.
Why are we paying for their electricity and adding heavy debt to the country when they are now proven to be an international killer terror group, not a "resistance"?

An army of 400,000 fighters are incapable of doing much without 1,500 Hizbullah members and let's say 500 Iranian guards! March 14, believe me, this is true, 100% true, and don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise. OK?

how can people in Lebanon still follow the Hezb knowing that the Hezb cares about the Syrian regime more than Lebanon. Lebanon turned from a counrty of education, culture and an attractive tourist site to a terrorist counrty in the eyes of others. disgusting

Anyone that hides underground for this long is rotten, dirty , and cowardly.
Sooner or later he will have the same fate as either Arafat, Saddam or Gaddafi. No way around it.
