NICOSIA [MENL] -- Hizbullah led a special forces operation that captured a
Sunni rebel hub after 17 days of heavy fighting.
Hizbullah sources said about 1,200 special forces troops led the attack
on the rebel-held town of Qusair in May and early June of 2013. They said
the battle marked the most intense campaign of the Iranian-sponsored proxy
in the more than two-year civil war in Syria.
