The Syrian Civil War has officially gone regional today, with the Free Syrian Army (FSA) announcing that it has begun attacking neighboring Lebanon as of 12:30 pm Thursday afternoon.
The FSA and other factions of the Sunni-dominated Syrian rebels have been fighting with Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shi’ite militia, for over a week over control of several Shi’ite border villages with large populations of Lebanese residents. The FSA has ordered the villages all “evacuated.”
The FSA has promised to continue with its attacks until it “eliminates” Hezbollah across Lebanon. Given the Hezbollah militia’s political wing is part of the ruling Lebanese government, this is a de facto declaration of war on Lebanon itself.
The FSA has claimed “direct hits” in artillery attacks against Lebanon today, but in the near-term the fighting is likely to focus on riling up Lebanon’s own Sunni population into rebellion, something the FSA has done to some success in the northern city of Tripoli, where they fueled weeks of sectarian violence late last year.
I think FSA is de facto outed as a Zionist proxy.
Re above: I was thinking that myself. In fact, they might have been involved in much of the so-called Arab Spring.
The whole arab spring is an USA paln from 1991 – see the first video of the statement of US general and presidency candidate Wesley Clark here:

De facto? I suspect a large number of the rebels are soldiers in the idf. I have no doubt that Irael would have no problem sending forces into another nation without wearing the idf uniform. This would bre a war crime but I am sure few in the likud cares about others feelings. The attacking of Lebanon pretty much seals the deal that the rebels are not "syrians" but foreigners.
perhaps they want the bezbollah troops to move east so israel can re-invade lebanon from the south.
hb will wipe these maggots out. this will just increase tension between iran and KSA
These idiots are the illegitimate sons, the barbarians of the Saudis and that Turkish government serving Israel while Cheney and Murdoch stealing the Syrian people wealth in Gotland heights. They are doing
an excellent job.., for their masters in Israel, EU and USA by widening this war to a non ending war all over Middle East.., then again.., the desire of USA and EU is to establish a military base in Lebanon since Donald Reagan time.., and these idiots paving the way.
I would assume Hezbollah would prevail in any full-out conflict—they're much more experienced and battle-hardened. Presumably Hezbollah would rather refrain from taking on the Syrian rebels, saving their powder for conflicts with Israel.
THE FSA is a zionist organisation finanaced and trained by Israel and the US to wage wars of aggression in the region. I think that the goal here is to replace Assad in order to offcially anex the Golan Heights (now that we know that zionist war criminal Cheney and company are drilling there) by putting into power these zionist traitors and then closing the deal over Golan with them in exchange of limitless support against the Syrian population, the real dictators.
But now that they have been outed the rest of us know whos who? shame on the zionist satanists and their supporters, they will be defeated because good triumphs over evil always….
Why it took so long? Also Lebanon was on the 1991 war list of USA (see first video of http://08oo.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/key-reasons-… )

Drag in Hezbollah and you give NATO/GCC grounds for direct intervention. Gotta give whoever advised them props for a brilliant move.
