After 3 weeks of attacking outnumbered and outginned FSA and Nusra Front fighters, The Syrian Army and Hezbollah have tkane control of most of Qusayr. The rebels ran out of ammo and evacuated the civilians in their retreat. Despite cliaming it would be an easy victory, the rebels bloodied Assad’s forces and Hezbollah. Yet despite the tough time they had, The Assad Regime claims the taking of Qusayr is a message to Israel.
The victory achieved by the Syrian army in Qusair sends a clear message to Israel against any aggression against Syria, a statement from the General Command of the Syrian army said on Wednesday, Syrian state news agency SANA reported.”The victory that was achieved at the hands of our brave soldiers sends a clear message to all those who are involved in the aggression against Syria, on top being the Zionist enemy and its agents in the region and tools on the ground,” the statement said.
If Assad and Hezbollah can barely defeat The Free Syrian Army and Al Nusra Front in a minor border town, how the hell do they think they can fight Israel?
