Saudi Arabian Daily Okaz Confirms my October 13 article Hezbollah Launched Rockets on Syrian City

On Sunday, October 14 I wrote a short piece Hezbollah Launched Rocket Attack on Syrian City announcing that Hezbollah had launched a rocket attack from inside Lebanon targeting the Syrian city of Al-Qusayr.

Today (October 17, 2012) an official spokesperson of The Free Syrian Army confirmed my report stating that Hezbollah has launched massive rockets and mortar attacks from the Lebanese area of Hosh Ali on the outskirts of the Syrian city of Al Qusyir.

Here is a link to the article published in the Saudi Arabian daily newspaper Okaz http://www.okaz.com.sa/new/Issues/20121017/Con20121017541085.htm

I have also taken the liberty of providing you with a “google translation” of the article:

Informed sources in the Syrian opposition’s Okaz that Hezbollah fighters are now fully in control of several villages in Syria, part of a project (the upper canton) in the coastal zone.

Sources showed that the villages Zayta, Haoak, bathroom, Safsafa, الفاضلية and orchards town Nizari predominantly Shi’ite are actually under the control of elements of the Lebanese who have set up a security barriers in coordination with the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
