Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on Monday declared his support for his Lebanese counterpart Joseph Aoun in the latter’s effort to disarm Hezbollah.

The Middle East war expanded to Lebanon on March 2, after Tehran-backed Hezbollah fired rockets toward Israel in response to the killing of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei on the first day of US-Israeli attacks on Iran

Since March 2, Israel has been conducting large-scale air raids on Lebanon and incursions with ground troops, killing at least 486 people according to the Lebanese health ministry.

    There’s A LOT of negative things we can point out in regards of both Lebanon and Syria, but getting rid of Assad was a step in the right direction, and the eventual downfall of Hezbollah will also be good.

        The only resistance? Hamas, PLO, Iran would like to differ.

        But the reality is that Hezbollah is a plague for Lebanon. An Islamic ultra conservative cult with its own militia is not a good thing. They won’t hesitate to bring the country into other regional conflicts, remember they also actively supported Assad in the civil war.

          How very convenient for Israel that you want to get rid of the " Islamic ultra conservative cult".

          Do you call Israel a " Jewish ultra conservative cult" too? How about the literal Al Qaeda terrorist in Syria?

            It’s very possible to condemn multiple bad groups. Israel is an undemocratic, colonial, war crime mob state. And at the same time, Hezbollah are Iran backed religious lunatics with missiles. They are not contributing to anything positive in the region. They are actively destabilizing Lebanon, which is positive for Israel.

            Who do you think help arm and fund Hamas in the beginning? Ooh it’s Israel. Why? Destabilizing Palestinian unity. Who benefits? Israel.

          Trained yeah, but it’s not like they were known for following their handler’s orders after the Afghan Soviet war ended.

          They assisted in casuing 9/11, but then they spent the next 10 years trying to find OBL.

          I meant “suddenly” as if all of his previous ideological goals didn’t just fly out the window the second he got access to a supply line lol.
