Report: Dissent within Hizbullah over Involvement in Syria
(Jerusalem Post) Ariel Ben Solomon - Some Hizbullah members are upset over the movement's role in support of Syrian President Assad in the wake of casualties it has suffered in the regions of Damascus and Homs, according to a report on Wednesday in Asharq al-Awsat. The criticism is mostly coming from families of Hizbullah fighters in Syria, but "it has started to infiltrate the ranks of the fighters themselves, with some of them refusing to fight," according to unidentified sources. NOW Lebanon reported Wednesday that four Hizbullah fighters killed in Syria were buried on Tuesday in Nabatiya in southern Lebanon. Many Hizbullah fighters have died in Syria and are being held at the Sheikh Ragheb Harb Hospital in Nabatiya. Hizbullah is reported to be burying the fighters in installments so as not to draw attention.
