Hezbollah's Syrian Adventure
BEIRUT—I first noticed a disturbing trend developing in Lebanon about six weeks ago, while working on a story about Sunni militiamen battling pro-Assad militants in the northern city of Tripoli. Gunmen were starting to be candid with me. I’d spent the day with Sunni fighters organized around a small conservative mosque near the frontline neighborhood of Bab al-Tabanneh — guys I’ve known for about
Hezbollah's role in Syrian conflict ushers new reality for its supporters
The workmen had been busy in the room where Hezbollah honours its dead. In one corner of the martyrs' cemetery in south Beirut, four women shrouded in black sat cross-legged near a new grave, reading from the Qu'ran. Metres away, the yellow flag of the militant group covered a freshly covered hole in a white marble floor. The scent of burning incense wafted across the room. Another grave, its conc
How Do You Say 'Quagmire' in Farsi?
ARSAL, Lebanon — For more than a year, leaders in Lebanon have anxiously eyed the murderous civil war in Syria, wondering whether it would leap across the border and engulf the small, fractious country.

Leader of Hezbollah Warns It Is Ready to Come to Syria’s Aid (Published 2013)
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The leader of Hezbollah, the powerful Lebanese Shiite organization, edged closer on Tuesday to acknowledging that its fighters were battling rebels in neighboring Syria, an intervention that threatens to drag Lebanon deeper into that conflict.

It was already 10:15, and he was late for a meeting with Iran’s new ambassador to Syria, who had arrived in the country the night before. There was good reason for the man’s tardiness: He h
A Visit to Hezbollahland—Lebanon’s Resistance-Themed Tourist Attraction | Vanity Fair
The central square of Lebanon's Resistance Tourist Landmark, known to some as Hezbollahland. After several successive family summer vacations in California, this year my two grown sons wanted something a little more adventurous. We settled on Lebanon, a country I’ve always loved to visit. It actually has a lot in common with California—natural beauty, majestic mountains, the sea, great food, a fab
Red Team
While it is anathema to broach the subject of engaging militant groups like Hizballah* and Hamas in official Washington circles (to say nothing of Israel), that is exactly what a team of senior intelligence officers at U.S. Central Command — CENTCOM — has been doing. In a "Red Team" report issued on May 7 and entitled "Managing Hizballah and Hamas," senior CENTCOM intelligence officers question th
Lebanon: Syria has not supplied Scud missiles to Hezbollah
The Lebanese government today angrily denounced Israeli claims that Syria has supplied Hezbollah militia with Scud ballistic missiles, comparing it with the misinformation about weapons of mass destruction in the leadup to the Iraq war. The prime minister, Saad Hariri, was speaking after the US state department gave credence to the Israeli allegations by summoning a senior Syrian diplomat late on
