Hizbullah to Limit Offensive Operations in Syria
(Daily Star-Lebanon) Hasan Lakkis - Hizbullah has informed Syrian authorities that it would not take part in any assaults on rebels inside Syria once the battle in the border town of Zabadani is over, diplomatic sources told the Daily Star. The sources claimed there was a joint operations room in Syria comprised of Syrian regime officials, members of Hizbullah, officers from Russia and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and representatives of the Fatima Organization, a group established by Iran whose members are mostly from Asia. The sources added that Russia was providing the Syrian regime with advanced weaponry, mainly rockets, some of which have been received by Hizbullah.
