Syria’s almost three year war has become a regional conflict in which Hezbollah is providing the elite fighters that the Bashar al-Assad regime requires to battle in Syria’s most violent areas, according to statements made yesterday by IDF Northern Corps commander Maj.-Gen. Noam Tibon. The Iran-backed Lebanese terror group has brushed aside repeated calls from inside and outside Lebanon to disentangle itself from the conflict, and has recently taken to explicitly lashing out against critics of its involvement. Hezbollah official Mohammed Fneish this week slammed Saudi Arabia’s former spy chief Prince Turki al-Faisal, after al-Faisal criticized the group deepening Lebanese sectarian tensions and bringing the country to the brink of civil war.

“This speech is very dangerous and it cannot go unnoticed and it is a threat against Hezbollah and Lebanon,” said Fneish who serves as caretaker State Minister for Administrative Development. “Those obstructing the solutions in Syria, refusing Geneva 2 and arming, financing, inciting and playing the sectarian game, are the core of the problem and are responsible for everything that is taking place in Lebanon and the region,” Fneish was quoted by CNA as saying in reference to Saudi Arabia.
