Report: 38 Hizbullah Fighters Killed in Syria Buried Secretly in Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah had recently buried in Lebanon 38 of its fighters, who were killed on Syrian territory, al-Joumhouria daily reported quoting the joint military command of the Free Syrian army.
“Most of them were killed in the Reef of Homs while four fighters were killed in Damascus,” media head of the Free Syrian Army Fahed al-Masri pointed out.
“The corpses were transferred secretly to Lebanon and arrangements for the burial were made after buying the silence of the deceased's relatives,” the newspaper reported.
It was hard to identify some corpses as a result of severe burns and injures, it added.
Hizbullah has in recent months allegedly buried a number of fighters killed in Syria, without publicly disclosing how the men were killed, or where.
Sources close to Hizbullah have said only that the men were killed "while carrying out their jihadist duty."
Moreover, two Hizbullah snipers were killed in clashes in Reef Homs, according to Syrian activists.
On Sunday, a Hizbullah member killed in fighting in Syria was buried in southern Lebanon, several residents of the man's village told Agence France Presse.
The residents said that the funeral of Hassan Nimr Shartouni, 25, was held in Mays al-Jabal after the arrival of his body from Syria where he was killed in fighting on Saturday.
The Syrian conflict, which began with peaceful protests against President Bashar Assad regime, is now in its third year.
The United Nations says that at least 70,000 people have been killed, and more than one million Syrians have been forced to seek refuge abroad. Millions more have been internally displaced.
On Saturday, at least 126 people were killed in fighting across the country, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights watchdog -- 54 rebels, 28 regime forces and 44 civilians.

If they want to keep it a secret, what is the reason of bringing them to Lebanon to bury them. There is plenty of land in Syria. Just tell their families, they are MIA. But the purpose of this article is to keep the war machine oiled.

If true then they have their cause to do so, just take a closer look who also are in Syria fighting, the Libyans , Egyptians, Turks , Jordanians Iraqis sudanians Moroccans Yemenis, so on , so on and so on, what would happen when these low life fanatics do when the war in Syria ends ? Where will they go next ? Lebanon is on their menu, wake up guys do you want them in our country after Syria? No thanks ! As far as I'm concerned let H A give them a taste if they dare try to penetrate us at lest H,A are lebanese not like the so called FSA mixed breed bastards, keep these low life scums out of our country, go HA keep Lebanon for only lebanese.

why Hizbullah should send its few members to Syria while Syrian Army is among the most powerful Arab armies? They do not need fighters from Iran or Hizbullah as they have been fighting FSA and AlNosrat since last couple of years.

Obviously those soon to become saints brave jihadist martyrs Lebanese Shiites were defending their other Lebanese Shiites cousin's aunt's third niece's son in law's uncle twice removed and once replaced grandpa's brother in law's sister living in Syrian villages protected by the valiant undefeated Syrian Arab Army that happen to fall inside the Syrian border, that should have included Lebanon but the hated colonial Western imperialists invented to weaken the heroic Arab nations, attacked by the bloodthirsty godless Takfeeris.

Syran army WAS big in numbers perhaps, but equipment/experience/morale are all low scorers. Hizbollah have all those attributes, and the supply-lines from Iran are so important that they are willing to sacrifice. Off course they dont want to go public in a bigtime way over their kias in Syria. Its not so glorious to get killed while messing around in a neigbouring civil was. So Nasrallah has public opinion to think about, both in his own shiah community and the lebanese community in general. It could well be that they are trying to do these as silent as possible. Most people can be bought, especially if they think its for a "good cause". There will always be someone that doesnt agree and dont need the money, hence the odd funeral here and there.
I have said it before, Syria will be a quagmire for Hizbollah, and they are likely to be stuck in it for years. Coffins will continue to be a growth industry in Dahiye and in the south.

you ppl are a perfect example of how polarized Lebanon is, full of doubts and mistrust of each other to a point where even if either side said a truth the other won't believe it . preoccupied with political coalitions who are more worried about what's happening abroad instead of Lebanon. even worse both sides would like to blame everyone else for our failed responsibilities as a country.

Are you sure it is 38 not 39? Or could it be 37? I am sure the report is so reliable that when it says 38 they actually mean 36? Or could it be 41? I like such reliable reports! gabby321, have fun.

Its a shame Americans and Brittish are sitting in their countries and enjoy coffee and cake and watching TV how muslim brothers that their have confuse kill each other.
Wake up Muslims,it has become so easy for the Brittish and Amercans to insticate wars against muslims by first pretending like supporting one side in order for the muslim brothers to kill each other and there after come in and control oil.Puma fuel stations around the globe are making milions everyday while your blood flow for promised chair.
