Syrian Army Ordered Use of Chemical Weapons: Defected General

Hizbollah Terrorists Lending Many Hands to Assad's Army

Syria's civil war is slowly but surely “leaking” out to Lebanon, as Hizbullah terrorists aid Syrian army troops

Syria's civil war is slowly but surely “leaking” out to Lebanon, a result of the direct participation by Hizbullah terrorists in the war, assisting Bashar al-Assad'sgovernment forces against Syrian rebels. Hizbullah terrorists have joined Assad's forces in several key battles, including a large battle at Al-Kuseir. According to reports, many Hizbullah terrorists were killed in that battle.

Hundreds of Hizbullah terrorists are now said to be in Syria, stationed in the many Shi'ite villages in bordering Syria. The terrorists act as “security guards” for the government, tamping down incidents of anti-Assad activity, and joining fighting in battles that take place in the area. Many terrorists have been killed in these battles, reports said.

In response to the increased activity by Shi'ite-oriented Hizbullah, the sheikh of the central Bilal bin-Rabah Mosque in Sidon, Ahnad al-Asir, last week announced the establishment of a new Sunni fighting force to defend Sunni communities in Syria.

There were several other instances of organized activity against Hizbullah; a group calling itself “The Free Al-Baqa Brigades” declared that it would work against Hizbullah's activities in Syria, threatening to move the center of their activities from Lebanon's Al-Baka region to Syria. The group called on Sunni Lebanese soldiers to leave their posts, given the control Hizbullah has over the army and the increased activity of Lebanese soldiers sympathetic to Hizbullah in Lebanon, under the direct orders of Iran and with the assistance of the terror group.

In recent months tensions between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims in Lebanon have reached new heights, with numerous violent clashes taking place.

Syrian regime ordered use chemical weapons against the Free Syrian Army during select battles, a defected general told Al Arabiya.

The Syrian government ordered the use chemical weapons against the Free Syrian Army (FSA) during select battles with Syrian regime forces, a defected general told Al Arabiya late Saturday.

Zahir al-Sakit, a former army general from the chemical weapons branch, told Al Arabiyathat he was instructed to use chemical weapons during a regime battle with the FSA in the southwesternarea of Hauran.

Instead, Sakit disobeyed the orders and substituted the chemicals with disinfectant water he called “Javel water.”

“I was given orders to execute the use of poisonous chemicals in caves and tunnels that are used by the Free Syrian Army, but I mixed all chemicals with water and used Javel water instead,” Sakit said.

He said that prior to his defection, no chemical weapons were used on his watch in battles against the FSA.

“I assure you that I ordered all chemical weapons to be buried and I can point out the exact locations of those chemicals,” Sakit told Al Arabiya.

The United States and Britain have previously accused the Syrian government of using chemical weapons in Damascus after results of the smuggled soil samples showed presence of chemicals that were used in the capital’s suburbs.

U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday warned Syria that using chemical weapons would be a “game changer,” after the U.S., Israel and Britain all cited signs that the regime attacked with the deadly agent sarin.

Meanwhile Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told members of Knesset on Sunday to refrain from voicing concern over the mounting evidence of chemical weapons use in Syria, in an effort to avoid the impression Israel is pushing the international community into armed intervention.
