US newspaper Wall Street Journal reported, that Iran-backed Hezbollah is exploiting the fighters of a Syrian opposition groups that been cut off from Washington support last year to support the Syrian government.
The newspaper added in a report by local sources on Friday that nearly two thousand fighters from the faction of the “Brigade of Al Qaryatain Martyrs” (belonging to the Free Syrian Army) are being exploited by “Hezbollah” to support the Syrian government.
The spokesman for the US-led coalition, “Sean Ryan”, did not respond to the questions of the reporter on this topic, but he said the remarks of US special envoy to Syria, Joel Riebern.
“The recruitment of Hezbollah, fighters in southern Syria is destabilizing, the idea of expanding the party’s presence on the border with Jordan near the Golan Heights and Israeli borders increases the chances of conflict”, Riebern said recently.
In July 2017, the international coalition forces to fight the terrorist organization “ISIS” officially announced the abandonment of one of the Syrian factions fighting the Syrian government.
The Coalition suspended its support for the “Brigade of Al Qaryatain Martyrs”, claiming that “the implementation of the brigade’s patrol elements outside the agreed-upon tension-relief zone (not defined) and participation in activities that do not focus on a staunch fight without approval or coordination with the US or Coalition”.
The newspaper said, Hezbollah is trying to join the opposition fighters abandoned by the United States to strengthen its presence in southern Syria.
The newspaper pointed out that those who accept Hezbollah’s offer, motivated by the avoidance of arrest by the Syrian, in addition to a monthly salary (250 dollars), which is more tempting by the Syrian authorities to the interests of the regular army, and compensation for the loss that resulted on the cessation of US support.
