Report: Hizbullah Ups Number of Fighters in Syria after Iraq Turmoil
2014-06-16
I s'pose that after that little kerfuffle in Iraq is settled, the Quds lads could march home by way of Syria...
[AnNahar] Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
is mulling to increase the number of its fighters in the neighboring country Syria, the Saudi al-Watan daily reported on Sunday.

According to the newspaper, Hizbullah is seeking to cover-up for the shortage that is expected to occur due to the withdrawal of Iraqi fighters from Syria in order to participate in the fight against Sunni Arab faceless myrmidons who have seized a swathe of northern Iraq.

Iraqi commanders said on Saturday that soldiers had recaptured two towns north of Storied Baghdad as thousands of volunteers answered a call to arms from top Shiite holy man Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original...
(ISIL) has spearheaded a lightning offensive in Iraq this week that has seen faceless myrmidons sweep down from second city djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
towards Storied Baghdad.

A source told al-Watan daily that Hizbullah fighters were seen gearing up to enter Syria during the last two days.

Hizbullah has deployed thousands of fighters into neighboring Syria to back Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Supressor of the Damascenes...
's army as he battles Death Eaters who have been trying to overthrow him for the past three years.

Hizbullah, a long-standing ally of both Iran, Syria, and Iraq says it is supporting Assad against Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed...
s (Sunni murderous Moslems) who are targeting Syria's Alawite and Christian minorities.
