| [AnNahar] Hizbullah ... Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistanceand purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... is reportedly mobilizing and preparing to carry out a wide-range attack on more than one axis in the rebel-held areas in the Syrian Qalamoun region and on Leb's Eastern Mountain range. A source close to Hizbullah revealed in comments to the Italian news agency Adnkronos (AKI) that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Syrian regime forces will back the party's assault on bully boy posts. The source said Hizbullah had waged a stake that the harshness of the winter in Qalamoun, strategically located on the Lebanese border, would limit the movement of the Islamist fighters and reduce their areas of control. However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... the failure of the party's expectation compelled Hizbullah to stage the wide-area operation to force the rebels to retreat. "The party's strategy during winter failed to block the key rebel supply line," the source told the news agency, fearing that the rebels have stepped up their readiness for a battle in the spring. When the Syrian revolt erupted in March 2011, the Lebanese eastern border town of Arsal served as a key conduit for refugees, rebels and maimed people fleeing strife-torn Syria, but the Lebanese army stepped up it's security measures in the village to stop infiltrations. It was overran in August by gunnies belonging to the two al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front and the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), who withdrew from the town by taking several soldiers and coppers hostage. Four have been so far executed. Though ISIL and al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front both have roots in al-Qaeda, IS has formally broken with the group, while Nusra is its official branch in Syria. Despite ideological similarities, the two groups are opposed and in conflict with each other in other parts of Syria, particularly in the north. But in Qalamoun, their fighters battled the regime and Hizbullah forces alongside each other, with support from some smaller Islamist rebel groups. |
