For the second consecutive day, Syrian rebel fire pounded residential neighborhoods in neighboring Lebanon. One woman was killed today, and five other civilians have been wounded in the attacks.
Lebanese security officials reported three mortar shells hit the Bdaita district today, on the outskirts of the Shi’ite town of Hermel. Free Syrian Army (FSA) commanders claimed responsibility for yesterday’s attacks, but were mum on today’s so far.
The attacks began after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah promised his militia would enhance its support for the Syrian government. The Shi’ite militia’s involvement is part of the secularization of the war, with the rebels dominated by Sunni Islamists.
Hezbollah’s involvement in the war has been hugely controversial within the movement, as many supporters believe its involvement in Syria distracts from its primary mission as a foil against a possible Israeli invasion. Recent Israeli strikes on Syria, however, seem to have convinced the leadership that it has a role to play in the civil war.
It seams that we are going to see the Third World War after all.., looking at last week news.., here what Antiwar won't go after…, there are two issues of importance here..l one Syrian people and Syria. Please read carefully.
RIYADH — Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said on Saturday that Syria's embattled President Bashar Assad should not take part in the proposed peace talks aimed at ending that country's deadly conflict.
"We support the will of the Syrian people, which has expressed its will clearly, saying it does not wish to see any role in the conference for Bashar al-Assad, or any of those whose hands are stained with Syrian blood," he told reporters in Jeddah.
1-If these people were for peace they should have listen to the majority of the Syrian people, not the one that runs the barbarians operations in syria murdering Syrian people, beheading the innocence and captured solders, eating their heart. If these people were for peace they should have started talking to the Syrian government almost two years ago.
"Syria's main opposition coalition has held an unscheduled fourth day of meetings in Istanbul (Turkey) as internal disputes prevent it from deciding whether to join a U.S. and Russian-backed peace conference with Damascus".
"Syrian National Coalition members on Sunday said the main dispute concerns whether to grant Saudi Arabia a bigger role in the group, by expanding its membership to include Saudi-backed opposition figures such as veteran dissident Michel Kilo. They said the Qatar-backed Muslim Brotherhood faction of the coalition is resisting such an expansion".
"Qatar has exerted a greater influence over the Syrian opposition coalition to date, by acting as a chief contributor of money and weapons to rebels fighting a two-year rebellion against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad".
2-All there is.., is talks by desperate kings of illegitimacy.., as what is called "opposition" divide as they are.., proving the fact that only have backing of the Syrian people as they are divided.., we said that from day one.., the majority of the Syrian people don't want to have anything to do with Saudis or any other tyrants in the region., only 5-7% of 22-27million Syrian people are willing to change what they have for what is nothing.., Syrian opposition are the products of hollywood political wing; therefore, they can become big and the only "representative" of the Syrian people over night, hollywood falsified advocacy have no boundaries.., as the western politics has become divided on the Syria opposition, so is these people but not the Syrian people, they stand with their constitutional vote and next year vote for the presidential election.., for these people, rebels as they called.., they need to look for a new line of work.., because they no longer represent anyone, after this no one wants to have anything to do with them.., but Al-Queada and others alike made barbarians by these tyrants.
Gardening the antiwar image with reporting one death woman. Nice try during the sponsor money collection.
But there are better stories never reported here. Why a massacre of an entire village of Christians by the "rebels" is not of interest?

Armed Rebels Massacre Entire Population of Christian Village in Syria
Armed rebels attacked a village in Syria's Western province of Homs and slaughtered all its Christian residents on Monday.
Armed Rebels Massacre Entire Population of Christian Village in Syria
(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) – The armed rebels affiliated to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) raided the Christian-populated al-Duvair village in Reef (outskirts of) Homs near the border with Lebanon today and massacred all its civilian residents, including women and children.
The Syrian army, however, intervened and killed tens of terrorists during heavy clashes which are still going on in al-Duvair village.
The armed rebels' attack and crimes in al-Duvair village came after they sustained heavy defeats in al-Qusseir city which has almost been set free by the Syrian army except for a few districts.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
In October 2011, calm was almost restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies sought hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots to topple President Bashar al-Assad, who is well known in the world for his anti-Israeli stances.

Syrian nationalism against Western imperialism, surely this is not a civil war.
So the "Party of God" (Hezbullah) involvement is part of the secularization of the war. What BS. It is a big party of the foreign intervention in this war.
