High-ranking sources in Hizbullah told the daily that the party's leadership is "closely following up the solo western decision which over-passed the U.N. Security Council."

The sources said that Hizbullah is "interested to know whether the strike is to discipline the Syrian regime or to break the balance of power with the opposition."

Officials previously confirmed the U.S. Navy has four warships armed with cruise missiles on standby in the eastern Mediterranean.

"If the U.S. and Britannia decided to military intervene in Syria to turn the balance of powers in Syria, then Hizbullah rejects to stand idle as the axis of resistance is in danger," the sources continued.

The sources pointed out that any reaction by Hizbullah is based on the common fate with the Syrian regime.
