Excerpt 1 – New York Times
Hizbullah Commits to an All-Out Fight to Save Assad
Anne Barnard
New York Times
Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah decisively committed his followers on Saturday to an all-out battle in Syria to defeat the rebellion against President Bashar al-Assad. He said the organization was entering “a completely new phase,” sending troops abroad to protect its interests. The speech signaled a significant escalation in Hizbullah’s military involvement in Syria, deeply enmeshing the group in the war across the border.
Hizbullah “wouldn’t do this if they thought there was going to be some kind of reaction,” said Andrew J. Tabler, a Syria analyst with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Ali Rizk, the Beirut bureau chief for Press TV, the satellite channel of Hizbullah’s patron Iran, noting that Nasrallah promised victory, said, “Victory means you’re in it to the very end and you’re going to go all the way. Hizbullah is going to go all the way.”
Hizbullah has essentially become the ground assault force for the Syrian Army in the battle for Qusayr and Homs Province, which links Damascus with the government’s coastal strongholds. “In Qusayr, the ones who are engaging on the front lines, the man-to-man firepower, that’s Hizbullah,” Rizk said.

5,000 Hizbullah Troops in Syria, with 5,000 More to Join Them
David Horovitz
Times of Israel
Lebanon’s Hizbullah has 5,000 troops fighting alongside President Assad’s forces in Syria, and another 5,000 are getting ready to join them, Salman Shaikh, director of the Doha Center of the Brookings Institution, told the World Economic Forum on Sunday.
There were also 1,500-2,000 fighters from Iraq in the battlegrounds of Syria, he said.
Excerpt 3 – Washington Post
Iraqi Shiites Fight for Syrian Government
Abigail Hauslohner
Washington Post
BAGHDAD — The Iraqi fighters in the video shoulder assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades as they walk down a highway lined with cypress trees. Grinning, some hold up cellphones and camcorders to capture the moment — the aftermath of a victorious battle to secure the Aleppo airport from Syrian rebels who had attempted to take it.
“You are the sons of Iraq and the sons of Islam!” shouts one of their commanders. The men cheer.
Weeks later in Baghdad, Abu Sajad, the nom de guerre of an Iraqi militia commander who appears in the video, proudly displayed it as proof that Iraqi Shiites are playing a critical role supporting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in what has become an increasingly sectarian and regional war. It was impossible to verify the location in the video or the circumstances.
Until recently, the involvement of Iraqi Shiites in Syria’s war was cloaked in secrecy here in Iraq, whose Shiite-led government has denied any role in the conflict. But recent interviews with militants, analysts, Arab government officials and residents of Shiite cities across Iraq reveal a trend that is growing increasingly open as Iraqi fighters come to view their participation as part of a regional struggle to defeat al-Qaeda and what they say is a broad effort by the region’s dominant Sunnis to wipe out Shiites.
At the center of the Shiite mobilization is Iran, which analysts and intelligence officials say is seeking to preserve its regional influence by funding and supplying an expanding Shiite network of armed support for the Syrian government, which is dominated by Assad’s Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. In addition to combatants from Iranian security forces and the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, pro-Assad proxy fighters include Iraqis drawn largely from militant groups known to be backed by Iran.
The role of Iraqi Shiite fighters in Syria raises questions about the possible complicity of the Iraqi government, which U.S. officials have recently criticized for allowing Iran to use Iraqi airspace for flights that allegedly transport weapons, troops and supplies to the Assad government. Iraqi officials say they have agreed to U.S. requests for inspections of the Iranian overflights. Eight recent random inspections have found “nothing illegal,” said Kareem Nouri, a Transportation Ministry spokesman.
“We support neither the opposition nor the regime in Syria, and we will not make Iraq a part of the fight in Syria,” he said.
But Iraqi officials have warned repeatedly that Assad’s fall would spell disaster for Iraq, and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told the Associated Press in February that a rebel victory in Syria would revive Iraq’s sectarian war. In an interview, Sami al-Askari, a Shiite lawmaker close to Maliki, said the government “turns a blind eye” to the flow of Shiite fighters to Syria, as it does in the case of Iraqi Sunnis who help Syrian rebels.
Analysts and Shiite militia leaders say it is unclear how many Iraqi Shiites have gone to fight in Syria, but Abu Sajad put the number at about 200 and said the ranks were growing quickly. He said Shiite fighters had been particularly motivated by an April statement by al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, who glorified the Syrian opposition in what he depicted as its fight against Assad and Iran, and by the Syrian Islamist rebel group Jabhat al-Nusra’s recent pledge of fealty to al-Qaeda

Israel: Russia-Syria S-300 Sale Still On
Gavriel Fiske and Ron Friedman
Times of Israel
A senior Israeli official on Sunday denied a report that Jerusalem and Moscow have struck a deal under which Russia would withhold a Syrian-bound shipment of advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles.
Reports of this cancellation have “no basis in reality,” the official said. “It’s a fairy tale.
There was no agreement between Putin and Netanyahu.”
Still, the official assessed, “It’s likely that the Russians will try to stall for time and use this as a bargaining chip without following through on the deal [with Syria].”
Prime Minister Netanyahu and his national security adviser, Yaakov Amidror, explained to Putin that planes landing or taking off from Ben-Gurion International Airport outside Tel Aviv would be within the 200-km. range of the S-300 system.
