Al Nusra Front
VS.
Hizb’Allah
After 2 years of civil war in Syria, get ready for the main events people! Al-Nusra has now declared that Hizb’Allah fighters in Syria will be their #1 priority. With control over Eastern Syria and especially that region’s oil wells, they have been recruiting more soldiers and buying up weapons from the Gulf State. In recent weeks, with aid of Iranian Basij, Iraqi Shia militiamen and Hizb’Allah Assad has taken some territory from the hodgepodge Free Syrian Army who had disassociated themselves from al-Nusra. Seeing the futility of this act, the FSA is now cooperating with al-Nusra again and have launched a counter attack against Assad East of Damascus.
With the FSA being allied with al-Nusra again, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda has made a declaration. Hizb’Allah fighters, not Assad’s forces nor the Iranian Basij will be their top target. Al-Nusra has already inflicted losses on Hizb’Allah in several clashes, but now it will be an all out effort. This fight could now spill into Lebanon where Nusra and other al-Qaeda affiliates will take the fight to the Shia terrorists.
The Syrian Salafist group Jabhat Al-Nusra declared in Jordan that it has set the confrontation with Hezbollah militants in Syria as a top priority. Jordan-based al-Qaeda-affiliate Mohammad Al Shalabi, alias Abi Sayyaf, said that Jabhat al-Nusra has taken a decision to fight Hezbollah militants, who have become “our Jihadists’ main target” across Syria.
This came after Hezbollah’s secretary general Hassan Nasrallah declared last week that Hezbollah will stand by Syria and helps it become a state of resistance. He announced that Hezbollah is ready to receive any sort of qualitative weapons even if it is going to disrupt the regional balance.
For the Syrian rebels, al-Nusra and others, this is a declaration of war against them, knowing that what Nasrallah really means is that Hezbollah is now in charge of Syria, upon Iran’s decision. Hezbollah and Iran are running the show and if the Syrian rebels want to prevail, they need to target Hezbollah, not Assad or the Syrian regime.
Assad has been pushed to the background to make way for Hezbollah. Therefore, it is not strange that Al-Nusra has decided to shift its priority to fighting Hezbollah as its main enemy.
The Hizb’Allah vs. al-Nusra showdown will be the main event in the Syrian war. This is a dream come true for people who hate al-Qaeda and the Hezzies both equally. The 2 fanatical Islamist organizations will now be at each others throat and hopefully bleed both organizations dry. This is the greatest turn of events in the world. 2 terror organizations will now be at each others throats.
In related news, Israel has warned that it will conduct more airstrikes on Syria if it transfer weapons to Hizb’Allah. If Assad retaliates, then Israel will help destroy his regime.
Israel has warned Damascus that if President Assad chooses to hit back at Israel for any further Israeli military strikes, Israel will bring down his regime.
An Israeli official confirmed Wednesday night that a dramatic and unprecedented message to this effect had been conveyed to Damascus, Channel 2 news reported.

Confirmation of Israel’s warning to Assad came soon after the New York Times quoted an Israeli official issuing the same threat. The New York Times said Israel was “considering further military strikes on Syria to stop the transfer of advanced weapons to Islamic militants,” and that an unnamed Israeli official had contacted the paper to warn: “Israel is determined to continue to prevent the transfer of advanced weapons to Hezbollah. The transfer of such weapons to Hezbollah will destabilize and endanger the entire region. If Syrian President Assad reacts by attacking Israel, or tries to strike Israel through his terrorist proxies, he will risk forfeiting his regime, for Israel will retaliate.”
The Syrian War is the Congo conflict of the 2010’s and like that war, many nations will get involved when all is said and done.
