Hezbollah leader Nasrallah pledges to stand with Syria, offers support to liberate Israeli-occupied Golan Heights
2013-05-10
[Al Ahram] Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said on Thursday his forces would support any Syrian effort to recapture the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, days after the Jewish state launched raids in Syria believed to have targeted weapons destined for the Lebanese militant group.

"We announce that we stand with the Syrian popular resistance and offer material and spiritual support as well as coordination in order to liberate the Syrian Golan," he said in a televised speech.

In the days following Israeli strikes last Friday and Sunday, Syrian state news programmes quoted unnamed sources saying that Damascus had given the green light to carry out operations against Israel from the Golan Heights after decades of calm on the border.

Personally, my guts or instincts are telling me that Hezbollah + Iran proper are indirectly + covertly trying to contain Assadian Syria + forcibly prevent it from unilaterally leaving the Iran-Syria-Lebanon Alliance = "Axis/Nexus of Evil"???

Iff I am correct per the above, then IMO the sooner Israel + IDF attack Lebanon + Hezbollah the better for Assad + traditionally pro-isolationist Syria.
