Hizbullah Gearing Up for All-Out Offensive on Zabadani

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Hizbullah is getting ready for a battle in the Syrian border town of Zabadani after entering the second stage of its offensive against jihadists, sources said.

The sources told As Safir daily published on Thursday that Hizbullah's priority currently lies in clearing Zabadani of militants.

It is one of the largest towns in Syria's Qalamoun region that lies near the border with Lebanon.

“Human, logistics and military needs for the battle have already been placed,” they said.

Battles have been raging in the past days between Hizbullah and jihadists on Zabadani's outskirts before the all-out Offensive.

Hizbullah sources told pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat that the fighting between the party's members and militants from al-Nusra Font and Islamic State group in Qalamoun and on the outskirts of the Lebanese northeastern border town of Arsal recently subsided “because the first stage of the plan ended.”

That plan aimed at launching strong attacks on the jihadists to weaken them. Hizbullah achieved that objective, they said.

The second stage, which could last around six months, lies in clearing the entire area of terrorist groups to stop them from reorganizing themselves, the sources told Asharq al-Awsat.

As Safir's sources said that so far Hizbullah has controlled more than 105 square kilometers of land in Arsal's outskirts and has launched efforts to gain control of the rest of the area where terrorist groups are located.

That area is more than 140 square kilometers, they said.

Zabadani is a Lebanese village with shia inhabitants that lies 80 kms inside Syria. So, of course the iranian resistance has to liberate it.

and more lol with your leaks, which are quotes from zionists quoting "the news website Khabaronline reported Thursday."

Thumb _mowaten_ 02 July 2015, 12:45

also thanks for this:
"Syria has historically supported Tehran's anti-Israel stance, and this
support could be weakened by a political change in Damascus.

Damascus has also supported the Shiite Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, a
firm ally of Tehran and an equally firm enemy of Israel."

showing the true reasons why they want to take down assad.

When the opinion of "Matthew Levitt, director of The Washington Institute's Stein Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence" is leaked, probably the leak is true, as in Levitt DID think and say that. Now does that mean that what Levitt thinks and says is true? I let you ponder about it.

Thumb Mystic 02 July 2015, 14:52

Mostaqbal pledged allegiance to Saudi Arabia, Lebanese forces and Kataeb to Israel. Saudi Arabia is allied with Israel aswell against Iran.

And you people wonder why we support Iran and Syria. By the way, it is no secret that Mostaqbals plan is to give Lebanon away to Al Nusra and ISIS for free, only the Resistance and LAF are the walls for your deviant plans.

Thumb Mystic 02 July 2015, 15:21

Also we should not forget Future Movements past experience with Radical Al Qaeda affiliated groups in Tripoli and Saida. Ahmed Al Assir and his goons hot heavy backing by Hariri and Saudi Arabia remember that.

Future movements financial support to Al Nusra front bombing a café in Jabal Me7sen in January is also well known.

miss tic : we have the army to defend us so your militia can do whatever they want to impress fanatics like you , i support the army not a militia. if you believe your militia act for Lebanon then good for you , sensible people know they act just to hold bashar in its seat... you know the regime that harmed Lebanon more than israel ever did... yet you support them and still praise all the harm they did to Lebanon by thanking them!

the parties you mention also rely on the army not a foreign militia which in your eyes seems a terrible thing to do... pityful braindead hezbi you are...

Thumb Mystic 02 July 2015, 17:02

Yes it's well known that March 14 alliance loves Israel. You forget that it was Syria that ended the civil war in Lebanon with their military presence.

I back the Lebanese army aswell, but without the Resistance to back it up, they would've been overrun a long time ago.
I know you deny that, but it's a fact.

Thumb Mystic 02 July 2015, 17:06

By the way, Israel destroyed Lebanon more than any country in the world.

all my invention i guess... pityful syrian bootlicker suffering from the Stockholm syndrom....

oh! and even if you do not like to hear it as it is bad for your propaganda, israel is also my enemy... but to complex for your little brtain to comprehend = how can one be agaisnt syria and hezbollah but also against israel. that does not fit your dead brainwashed brain....

Thumb Mystic 02 July 2015, 17:41

That's funny you mention that, because Hariri was the best of friends with Syria during the end of the civil war in the 90s and until his assassination.

Missing peace 02 July 2015, 17:41

"La Syrie est responsable du massacre de milliers de civils libanais et de la destruction de nombreux villages dans le nord du Liban. Elle a bombarde le pays sans relýche et s'est livree a des assassinats contre des deputes, des journalistes, des hommes politiques. Aucune enquete independante ne s'est jamais penchee sur ces crimes. Moi-meme, j'ai ete l'objet de trois attentats. Un million et demi de Libanais ont fui leur pays, ou ils etaient prives de liberte et de travail. La Syrie a toujours ete une force de nuisance. Quelqu'un doit mettre un terme a son jeu d'influence regionale nefaste. ""

That makes you the real hypocrite peace. You always scream about Assad and Syria yet you forget that Mostaqbal and Hariris businesses flourished under the Syrian presence in Lebanon.

Also Israel cooperates Al Nusra and other rebel factions in Syria. So i doubt Israel is your enemy, they are the ones feeding you alongside wahabi arabia.
