Recent Israeli attacks had Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah promising more aid for the Syrian military, and it seems his militia is making good today, as a joint force of Syrian soldiers and Lebanese fighters attack the town of Qusair, along the border between the two nations.
The town has been held by Syrian rebels for quite some time, and is now facing Hezbollah shelling as well as advances by Syrian troops, with rebels claiming “at least 32” people killed, though some factions are as usual claiming far more deaths than others.
Rebels also reported that Hezbollah commander Faid al-Jazzar was slain in the fighting in the town. Jazzar was held in an Israeli jail for 14 years for “membership in an illegal organization.” Rebels also reportedly shelled a Lebanese town on the other side of the border, but no casualties were reported there.
Hezbollah has had a limited but meaningful role in Syria’s civil war, though up until now it had primarily focused on protecting Shi’ites in border villages and religious sites from rebel attack.
The renewed fighting at the border has also started the sectarian clashes in Tripoli all over again, with reports of at least one person killed and four wounded in fighting between the city’s Alawite and Sunni neighborhoods.
Pity the unfortunate nations of people who live near Israel! They'll threaten, subvert and kill ANY and all non-Chosen people in their quest for "peace" (i.e. regional domination and subjugation of all).
The region of the world the polite and "civilized" refer to as "troubled" is code for "not doing what we say".
The problem here is that Nasrallah is playing into Israel's hands by directly supporting Assad. Israel's goal in this crisis is to degrade Syria's military enough to permit Israel to attack Hizballah in Lebanon via the Bekaa Valley – which necessitates crossing Syrian territory. The end goal is that both Syria and Hizballah's missile arsenals are destroyed, enabling Israel to attack Iran while only worrying about Iran's missile arsenal instead of three missile arsenals.
Israel is already using the Syrian crisis to attack Syrian installations ostensibly to prevent missiles intended for Hizballah. This is partly to weaken Syria and partly for propaganda to justify the future full-scale attack on Hizballah and Syria. It's only a matter of time before the US, France, Britain, Israel and Turkey launch a full-scale air campaign (and possibly ground troops from Turkey and Israel) against Syria, followed by a full-scale invasion by Israel of Lebanon.
This has been the plan all along once the Libyan intervention showed the US and Israel how to "justify" regime change in the Middle East. The goal is Iran and the oil and gas in Iran.
