Sabra Urges Arab League, Lebanon to Stop Hizbullah Influx
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Syria's opposition urged the Arab League and the Lebanese government on Wednesday to prevent the continued influx of Hizbullah fighters into Syria.
"We call on the Arab League and its secretary general to take a stance befitting these events," said Acting National Coalition opposition chief George Sabra.
He warned that Hizbullah's involvement in the Syrian war would ignite a "sectarian fire."
"Hizbullah's weapons have become militia weapons and its guns have become sectarian weapons for hire that kill women, children and the elderly," the National Council leader charged.
"We call on the Lebanese state and its political, defense and security institutions to work for the respect of the sovereignty of the Syrian state," he added.
Sabra urged fighters across Syria to "rush to the rescue" of rebel stronghold Qusayr and appealed to the international community to set up a humanitarian corridor to the embattled town.
He issued the call for rebel reinforcements as Syrian troops backed by Hizbullah fighters battled for control of Qusayr, which lies near the Lebanese border on land corridor linking the capital Damascus with the Mediterranean coast.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Tuesday that 31 Hizbullah fighters have been killed in Qusayr since the fighting began on Sunday.

Yes Oqab can supply the percussion blankets and the 50 caliber milk. Well at least he used to ... seems now he is cuddled in his blanket and his milk has curdled ...

Too late ... Hezbollah, Iranian and Syrian fighters have already surrounded Qusayr. The only question now is if they allow a corridor for a rebel retreat or do they kill every last man and take casualties.
Russia has already closed the door to a quick naval resupply with their anti ship missiles and made the skies deadly for Israeli air support. It is only a matter of time ...

Tell it to the Russian Pacific Fleet anchored in Cypress or the batteries of sa 300 rockets now deployed in Syria.

Again - fantasy land. The Russian fleet is a third rate force. As of the the syrian anti-air defenses, we saw how effective they were only few days ago.

@ rafehh
A few days ago there were no sa 300s in Syria ... As far as the Russian fleet there are subs that always tag along ... And the missiles both carry do the job very effectively ...

Nouvelles du Front de Qussayr:
"Dératisation complète en cours. L'Armée Syrienne appuyée par quelques combattants stagiaires du Hezbollah dératisent de fond en comble la ville de Qussayr. Elle sera complètement nettoyée dans les jours qui viennent et les habitants pourront de nouveau vaquer à leurs occupations. Plus de têtes et de mains coupées, plus de viols, plus de tribunaux salafistes..Les rats sont en train de se faire zigouiller par les stagiaires du Hezbollah...Les églises pourront réouvrir..." Al Nosra, finito...

FT - whose thugs? The regime and its supporters are the one responsible for the overwhelming majority of the sectarian massacres. As for al-nusra and other jihadists (some committed crimes but to my knowledge no massacres as of yet), they are not in anyway under the influence of sabra or the syrian opposition. Please be honest with yourself.

Some idiots indeed said this after the massacres by the regime. HOWEVER this was a tiny group. The call for the syriam demonstrators which was met with deadly force by the regime "God, Syria and Freedom" and "syria wants freedom" and "syrians are one." So choose to lie to yourself and others to support the slaughter of the syrian people and to support the thuggish leadership of the Hizb. The Qusayr may fall and the revolt may fail but you are on the side of monsters.

I hope they do but m14 does not dare since we all know what will happen the next day: democracy a-la-Hizb style in the streets of Beirut.

You're confusing Lebanon for a country that can control its fake resistance movement, they do whatever they want including killing Lebanese politicians.

Let's face it. If the FSA's news about the scores of Hizbullah elite fighters betting killed is true, why should Abou Jreij ask the mighty Arabs and the mightier Lebanon to stop the influx? Shouldn't he encourage that this influx increases so that the mighty FSA from all corners of the globe and who speak in a million tongue can finish off the remaining Hizbullah fighters? Something is illogical here in Abou Jreij's calculations unless his humanitarian side is revealing itself.

M8ers of this site used to defend hezbis by saying they are ONLY defending shia lebanese villages in syria so they are legit... now it is clear it is no more about defending those villages but to back the syria army without the consent of the lebanese state dragging lebanon into the conflict after having agreed on the baabda declaration... as we have said long ago but M8ers used to insult us in saying so....
we are witnessing how HYPOCRIT M8ers are and how desperate they are in defending bashar even if it means bringing war into lebanon to achieve their goal... and they call themselves "patriots"? LOL...
oh! i am waiting for the childish "milk and blanket" thing! but it is in NO WAY comparable... as M14 has not sent fighters to syria nor officially declared so like the hezbis did! and M14 would be sooooo rich and wealthy to support a war? LOL.....
