Why Hezbollah Killing Syrian People

I ask: How many times has Hezbollah fought Israel in a decade and a half? Only twice, in 1997 and in 2006.

In the past ten years, most of Hezbollah’s heroic acts were criminal ones that destabilized their country and obstructed political life. 
Other than that, the front with Israel remained guarded by Hezbollah fighters. In the past ten years, most of Hezbollah’s heroic acts were criminal ones that destabilized their country and obstructed political life. Was Hezbollah fighting Israel when assassins killed Lebanon’s Rafiq Hariri in 2005? Was it fighting Israel when, for two continuous years, it resumed implementing assassinations against its political, media and military rivals - whose number exceed 20 - upon orders from Bashar al-Assad’s regime? Was it fighting Israel when it occupied west Beirut, attacked Mount Lebanon and killed around 70 people in 2008? Was it fighting Israel when it obstructed public interests, blocked roads and stirred a state of fear that forced most March 14 leaders to hide at the Phoenicia Hotel for several months because they were afraid of Hezbollah’s gangs?

Unfortunately, due to regional disputes, many have supported Bashar al-Assad and Hassan Nasrallah at a time when they committed hideous crimes against Lebanon and the region. Confronting Israel was nothing more than a propaganda campaign aiming to justify attempts to dominate Lebanon and be the sole decision makers in the country. Hezbollah is almost the only party that has arsenal and a trained army, and it is almost the only party that refuses to be submissive to the state’s authority alleging its power aims to confront Israel. As you see, it’s now spending your money and support to committing massacres in Syria.

However, Hizbollah has its own very pragmatic reasons for wanting Mr Assad's regime to stay intact. Damascus has long been the conduit through which Hizbollah has received weapons from the Shia mullahs of Iran, who have sponsored both Hizbollah and the Assad regime itself ever since Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution. Tehran supports them partly as fellow Shias in an area dominated by Sunnis, and partly as fellow opponents of Iran's arch-enemy Israel, with which Hizbollah fought a brief war in 2006.


Hezbollah  disuse  disguises or excuse as Israel for their real agenda which is dominance of Lebanon
