Hezbollah, Syrian Army Remain Undefeated From Qusayr to Aleppo

when you amalgamate them with the experienced tank battalions from the Syrian Army’s 4th Mechanized Division, they become an omnipotent force on the ground, military analysts said Friday.

"In fact, there has not been a battle in this war that the Syrian army’s 4th Mechanized Division and Hezbollah have failed to win together," the analysts said, the Electronic Resistance reported.
"From the al-Qusayr battle (May 2013) to the massive Qalamoun Mountain offensive (December 2013 and June 2015), these two forces have proven extremely effective when fighting next to one another," the analysis said.
"When Hezbollah was transferred to the Southern Aleppo front after their victory at the strategic border-city of al-Zabadani, they were joined by the same soldiers from the Syrian army’s 4th Mechanized Division that fought side-by-side with them," they further added.
"While it is rare to see the Syrian army's 4th Division and Hezbollah conversing during brief breaks from battle, they share a common respect for one another that is evident on the battlefield."
"The Syrian army's 154th Brigade (4th Mechanized Division) is predominately made-up of Sunni soldiers from the Aleppo province; meanwhile, Hezbollah is made-up of solely Lebanese Shiites, but the religious differences don’t seem to matter – on the battlefield, they are one cohesive unit," the analysts underscored.
"Yes, the west’s nightmare comes to reality: Shiite, Sunni, and Alawi Muslims fighting together with the Druze and Christians against the militant groups backed by some Arab countries of the Persian Gulf," they added.
Regardless of their religious affiliation or ethnic group, these men all share one common goal, which is defeating terrorism, extremism and militancy in Syria.
