Having joined the Syrian Civil War in earnest in the fight over the border town of Qusayr, the Hezbollah militia is said to be deploying a large portion of its fighters north to the nation’s industrial and financial capital of Aleppo.
Or rather, its former industrial and financial capital. Once Syria’s largest city, Aleppo has turned into a large collection of warzones over the past year, with both sides constantly predicting a decisive shift in their favor but the city now stalemated for a solid 10 months. Life in the city has ground to a halt.
Hezbollah officials confirming the deployment to Aleppo hint that they are moving again stalemated places “where they think they are safe,” predicting such areas will “fall like dominoes.”
Of course there is no reason to believe Hezbollah’s own optimism is any more grounded in reality than the optimism of anyone else who thought they’d break that stalemate over the last 10 months, but the influx of fighters does seem to have put the rebels on a defensive footing, at least for the time being.
The end of this war is for everyone to see.., that is why that sunny Muslim leader living in Saudi Arabia has issued a fatwa asking sunnies terrorism from all over to come to Syria and fight a legitimate government of Syrian people…, that alone shows that these people have no clue about politics or democracy and not willing to understand any thing other then their illegitimate kings and tyrants rules.
This "large portion of fighters" deployed away from the areas where the declared enemy (Israel) could operate and in an offensive (i.e. much riskier and costlier) posture makes no sense. Either the numbers are much smaller than "a large portion" or… no, makes no sense aside from depicting this as "foreign intervention". Syria really can't turn the tides based on a couple of thousands or so (this would be a large portion of the estimated total number of H. fighters). Propaganda boast and its counter spin. Nothing newsworthy.
