Sayyd Hassan Nasrallah, general secretary of the Lebanese "Party of God", does not use half-words. Thousands of militia sent to fight on the front lines of Syria will not retreat until "the infidels" are destroyed.

Nasrallah speaks from Beirut during the funeral commemoration for Hatem Hamadeh, considered the deputy commander of the Radwan, the troops for Hezbollah's special operations, deployed in the Hamdaniyah district in Aleppo last August (the high official, according to unverified sources, was allegedly killed by an IED near the 1070 Apartment Projects complex, in Aleppo).

The leader of the Lebanese party explicitly refers to an international plan, supported by the Wahhabi monarchies in the Gulf, to recompose the borders and the demographic proportions of the Middle East. The Shiite militias, according to Nasrallah, will not retreat until that "The Sunni architects of the disintegration project will not be defeated".

Hezbollah represents the most reliable faction of the military apparatus that supports the Assad government in the Syrian war. Experience in guerrilla and counter-insurgency operations has been decisive so far on all fronts where loyalist troops prevailed. Closely related to Iran, patron of the Shiites in the region, they are also a clear sign of Tehran's rapid direct involvement in Syria. 

Starting from August in fact, in addition to Hamadeh and other senior officers of Hezbollah, some officers of elite formations would have fallen right on the front of Aleppo Pasdaran most notably the major Ali Nazari, deputy commander of the battalion Hamzeh, of the 33a Paratroopers Brigade Al Mahdi.  

Nasrallah's words reiterate the unreliability of the Shiite triangle Iran, Hezbollah and Syria.
