Hizballah’s Brutal Occupation of Aleppo

Leading Syria’s bloody reconquest of the rebel stronghold in Aleppo was Hizballah, which, according to Yoram Schweitzer, is the “most professional” of the various ground forces fighting to maintain Bashar al-Assad’s rule. (Russia is fighting mainly from the air, and Iranian forces are present primarily in advisory and supporting roles.) Schweitzer argues that Hizballah must no longer be considered a terrorist or insurgent group but an army. (Interview by BICOM; audio available at the link below.)
