Hizbullah Denies Party Member Detained in Damascus
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah denied on Monday that the Free Syrian Army captured a member of the party in Damascus, Hizbullah's media relations department said.
“Al-Arabiya news channel reported that the FSA detained a member of Hizbullah identified as Sayyed Hassan Salim al-Meqdad. The party denies these claims,” said the statement.
Al-Arabiya reported earlier that the FSA was able to detain a member of Hizbullah who allegedly entered Syria within a group of 1,500 people who spread in Damascus, Aleppo and Homs.
The channel aired a video showing al-Meqdad confessing that Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ordered him to head to Syria to “support the Shiite Syrian regime” against “the Sunni gunmen known as the FSA.”
Al-Meqdad, who is allegedly a sniper, noted that he hadn’t infiltrated to Syria through illegal crossings, saying he was offered all the facilities on the border.
“We were a group of 250 in Damascus and resided in the Shrine of Sayeda Zeinab,” he said.
He confessed most of the snipers are being trained in the eastern Lebanese city of Baalbek.
Al-Meqdad urged Nasrallah to “halt his scourge of the Syrian people, who is only seeking freedom and a dignified life.”

the plans of the axis of evil (the syro/iranians and allies) are failing again and again.
their evil doings are being uncovered daily, and the result on them will be really hard, as they will have to pay dearly for all these evils doings.
hizbushaitan is driving the shiite community and his allies fpm down the drain with massive retaliation coming soon. they do not have a friend left in the region.

wow how mentally limited one must be to believe the so-called "confession" of a man captured and tortured!!!
Look at his bruised face, poor man probably has nothing to do with anything, just got caught and beaten until he agreed to repeat their rubbish, trying to make it sound like it's a sunni-shia war. these wahhabis and salafis really are pushing as hard as they can to create the fitna.

Yeah mowaten soureh exactly the same thing happened with the hezballah terrorist caught previously in Egypt. The first they denied it then groundhog Hassan admited. Hassan of the underground likes to send poor men to die in foreign lands.

I read you regime lovers and I laugh... "propaganda"..."so called confession"... It's always the same words when a hezbollah operative gets caught : Thailand, Egypt, Iraq, Syria... You always have to deny it and scream scheme! Whatever mowaten... yeah yeah... keep talking... :)

there were hezbollah men in egypt, yes, and they were helping gazaouis. hezbollah never denied it, to the contrary, they said they were helping gaza in all possible ways. the guys went to court still shouting "at your command nasrallah!" despite the tortures and attemps to break their wills. you losers here have no idea what bravery and sacrifice means, hezbollah men dont hide, they dont run, and they are not ashamed to say what they do because they know what they're doing is for a just cause.
the salafi crazies cutting throats in syria now, where were they to fight israel? where were they when gaza was pummelled? where were they to help gazaoui being besieged and starved? nowhere to be found! but hezbollah made that sacrifice.

there were some men in iraq too and that as well were never denied. about the rest it's just propaganda, never backed by any solid or verifiable element.
a tortured man's words, that's all the "proof" they have to say hezbollah men are there. but i see for you it's more than enough, an "anonymous experts say" report on an unknown blog would be enough to convince you guys that the earth is flat.

@mowaten,
I agree with you that this claim should not be taken seriously. Those who take the confession of a man beat up and surrounded by weapons simply should be ignored.
Nonetheless, I don't believe Gaza is our problem to fight so long as we have our own divisive problems.

"hezbollah never denied it, to the contrary" is being able to lie mandatory to become the mouthpiece for groundhog hassan?
to correct you mowaten soureh, when the story broke of a hezballah member aliased mansour hezballah first denied but then when sami chehab his real name was revealed hassan the groundhog gave a speech admitting chehab was a member of his terrorist group what else was he going to do.

Geha,
Please. are you taking the claims of a beat up kidnapped man surrounded by guns seriously? Is this honestly considered credible proof that Hezb is involved in Syria? Give me a break. Anyone knowledgable about Hezb's organizational structure and has read multiple articles and credible books about it would know that this type of assistance is not the way Hezb operates.
And before you all jump to conclusions, I'm not a so-called "Assad sympathizer". In fact, I find him a criminal much more than you do. But let us please not dumb down our analysis and be objective with our views. Look at the credible evidence before we jump to conclusions.

It's quite logical for Huzbullah to come to the rescue of its ally in Syria. The Syrian had been helping out Huzbullah gain power and dominate in Lebanon and likewise Huzbullah is reciprocating. Where's the amazement here? it's a tit for tat. Why should Huzbullah deny this. Everyone know the strong relationship between the regime in Syria and huzbullah.

How can Nasrallah seek Heaven while killing innocent people in Syria unless he considers non-Shias to be infidels and can therefore be killed without sacrificing the after life? Soon he will have his one-way ticket to Hell.

All oranginas who decide to tell the truth on this particular subject, hate Assad. Of course their master orangina the great feels the same way but for the sake of the throne in b3ada, he hides it for fear his Syrian master will not reward him.

They have been in Syria supporting the regime since day one, but now they are starting to show because the regime has fewer and fewer soldiers to depend on and are using these thugs where it matters. I am not sure they have a choice. We all know that when Assad falls HA or PoG (I want to start calling them PoGs) will lose a lot of its power. They could play this smarter and actually not get involved, but the orders don't come from the ground hog. they come from the vulture in Iran.

No credible proof whatsoever that Hezb is involved. Not even this one (a man beat up surrounded by weapons saying a confession is not considered proof to me nor to international law).

the more the syrian regime loses ground the more hezb el fakih terrorists are captured it's the law of probability.

There's abundant footage of Hezbollah's involvement in Syria. But Hezbullah being what it is will go as far as rejecting that the sea has water.

If it were SHA himself, hizbulla would never admit that he were from hizb--deny, deny, deny...reminds me of the syrians and the iranians who said that the kidnapped weren't revolutionary guards, but later were "retired".
I don't know if he is from hizb or not--all I know is that hizb lies to cover up which makes their denials less believable over time.

look at that the family of this terrorist threatening to kidnap innocent Syrian, Arab or Western citizens to trade for his release. It's the 80s all over again. Thugs belonging to a cult of thugs.

That's HA for you.....always denying, denying and denying but when it comes to handing over any of these convicts for simple questioning/interrogation they forbid it and threaten anyone who dares touch them. Hmmmmm......
