#2 to me the big deal is that after at least a year of staying out of the fighting in Northern Syria (particularly Idlib), Hezbollah has committed (or been committed) to this conflict

it comes at a time when the Turkish and Turkish proxie side has heavy weapons and.., air force assets

and if Hezbollah is committed there must be some degree of IRGC supervision there

#4 Shia Hezbollah linked Zulfiqar Brigade and Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas militias have been active in Idlib for years.

#5 mossomo

true about those militias being Shiite allies of Hezbollah and the IRGC but my understanding it that these are lightly armed and poorly trained troops that end up being cannon fodder in actual combat
