In reply to the discussion: Islamic State 'retreating' in key Syria town of Kobane [View all]The Magistrate
(95,247 posts)Given who actually holds what territory in Syria, it is awfully hard to see how Hezbollah fighters could have got to the battlefield at Kobane. Government forces in Syria have no passage from the area they control through the belt of rebel and Islamist held ground on a line Azaz to Dier al Zor, through al Bab and the I.S.I.L. headquarters at Raqqa between them and Kobane.
Hezbollah has long been fighting alongside Assad's forces, and doing so to some detriment to its standing in Lebanon. In the present situation, where we are in a de facto alliance with Iran, doubtless there are noises of co-operation made from Iran's clients. The article you cite certainly does not establish co-operation between Hezbollah and the C.I.A., not by a long sight. In fact, a very large portion of the article is devoted to questioning the veracity of information claiming there is such collaboration.
