2013-03-06 |
![]() "On Sunday evening, Hizbullah trained its members in the Western Bekaa area near the Lebanese town of Mashghara, in preparation for sending a new batch of fighters to Syria," the joint command said in a statement. The FSA accused the Lebanese party of "setting up monitoring positions and deployment centers, some of them near the eight Syrian border towns occupied by the party, with the aim of providing protection and controlling the international highway connecting Damascus ...The capital of Iran's Syrian satrapy... , Homs and the (Syrian) coast." The rebel group charged that "over the past three months, Hizbullah staged operations of sectarian cleansing in several border towns, especially Jousiyyeh, while dozens of houses were torched and thousands of residents were expelled." The joint command warned that "the future of the neighborly and brotherly relations with Leb is in danger and all options will be on the table if the blatant aggression against Syrian territory and citizens does not stop." The FSA stressed that "today, the problem is with the Lebanese state, not only with Hizbullah, and it has gone beyond that to become an Arab, regional and international issues." "We will deal with it within this framework," the statement added. |

#1 Hizbullah staged operations of sectarian cleansing in several border towns, especially Jousiyyeh, while dozens of houses were torched and thousands of residents were expelled. Sounds like Hesb'allah is carving out territory for itself. |
