Hizbullah Buries Commander Killed in Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah buried a leading commander in the south of the country on Monday, after he was killed "performing his jihadist duties in Syria", his party said.
"The Islamic Resistance (armed wing) is celebrating a leader from its heroic, sacrificing forces, the martyr Hassan Hussein al-Hajj... who died while performing his jihadist duties in Syria," it said in an official obituary.
Hizbullah has intervened in Syria on behalf of the embattled regime of President Bashar Assad, dispatching fighters and commanders to various fronts around the country.
According to the South Lebanon local news website, which is close to Hizbullah, Hajj was "the head of Hizbullah's operations inside Idlib" in northwest Syria.
He was killed in fierce clashes between Hizbullah fighters and "a takfiri (extremist Sunni) group", it said.
Although Hizbullah did not specify when Hajj was killed, local media said he died on Saturday.
Phillip Smyth, an expert on Shiite militias in Syria and Iraq, told AFP that Hajj was a "leading command element" in Hizbullah and killed in Idlib.
Hajj was buried in al-Louaizeh village. The funeral was attended by large crowds including Hizbullah officials.
It was a rare move for the party, which has normally refrained from giving details on its military losses in Syria.
Hizbullah's obituary said Hajj had led "some of the most famous special operations" against Israeli forces.

Mystic, if the value of your martyrs is represented by the way you people cheat with the Thumbing activity, then the word Honor must be replaced in every language of the world because you people have nothing to do with honor. Then what you're doing in Syria, Iran, Yemen, Bahrain and God knows where else has nothing to do with the survival of Lebanon. You people are using Lebanon as your base, and towards that end you will do everything in your capacity, including your culture of cheating to keep Lebanon under your control, one of those cheating elements is Aoun. In your typical ways, you will always live by the precepts of, "Alf 2albeh wala ghalbeh". But you ya Mystic keep refusing the truth, your Hezbollah is after all just a paper Tiger, or a white elephant, even a resort town like Zabadani you couldn't take. OK, now you can start with your favorite thumbing campaign again, yalla, imchi.

maybe he was defending shia villages in Idlib
maybe he was trying to liberate Palestine
He died for Iran and its devious plans in the region
so yes, no sympathy here.

I am here today thanks to Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and thanks to those who kidnapped the Turkish pilots. I also thank General Security chief Abbas Ibrahim who planned, funded, and protected the Turkish pilots kidnappers.

As a Shia Christian, Its a debt we owe to HA & a friendship & trust to hopefully last forever.
I am also proud of HA for protecting the Shia Christians of the ME.
they even rang the Huseinieh bells in Syria for us Shia Christians after they expelled Isis from Shia Christian towns & returned it to Aoun.
May the righteous forever stand strong.

In all honesty, the war in Syria has long since turned out to be a Sunni/Shiite war, the hatred that reigns between them is palpable miles away, all the way to well beyon Iran and Yemen.

"they are there to prevent the Wahhabi rotten nature invading the country"
lol... yeah right! Look up idleb on a map, and explain us the threat to Lebanon please... lol. They are an instrument of the Syrian regime, that's all. They are more Syrian, or Iranian than Lebanese. Their sect comes first.
