's regime will fight "until the whole country is liberated", opposition chief George Sabra said Wednesday, after the army and Hizbullah fighters overran the strategic town of Qusayr.

"We say to the heroes in the Free Syrian Army: this is a small juncture, in which you proved your rare heroism. It will be followed by the liberation of the whole country," Sabra said.

"Your demands and your struggle are righteous, and that is why you will be victorious. You will defeat these sectarian gangs and their masters in Qom and Tehran," he addressed the opposition's fighters, referring to Hizbullah's ties to Iran.

"Let the Shiites know that what happened in Qusayr destroys the ties of brotherhood and humanity between neighbors, and this will achieve the objectives of the Israeli enemy."

"They are chanting in the name of Zainab and Hussein while acting out of malice and hatred," Sabra added.

The rebel leader also denounced the "foreign invasion" of Qusayr, adding that "the criminal regime can no longer survive without foreign weapons".

He noted: "Qusayr is a precious piece of Syria's big heart and those who were martyred while defending it are heroes."
