Nasrallah called for prevention of conflict inside Lebanon while making clear that Hezbollah will stand alongside the Syrian regime, opposing the US-Israel-Al Qa'eda alliance trying to remove President Assad from power. Nasrallah's message, as put out by Syrian State news agency SANA<http://sana.sy/eng/22/2013/05/25/484108.htm>, was that "Syria has turned into a battlefield for imposing a political project led by the US and its allies in the region, as Syria is the 'linchpin of resistance'". This morning, perhaps in response to Nasrallah, someone fired two Grad rockets into a southern Beirut suburb, injuring five people. * ------------------------------ *Casualties* The Violations Documentation Center <http://www.vdc-sy.info/index.php/en/> reports that 61,541 people have been killed in the Syrian conflict since March 2011, an increase of 83 from Saturday. Of the deaths, 47,900 were civilians, a rise of 37 from yesterday. *The Battle for Qusayr* The regime siege and shelling of Qusayr, near the Lebanese border and 18 miles from Homs, in continuing --- claimed footage from activists this morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IfXPAAsaxnc ------------------------- Rockets hit Beiruts DahiyehTwo Grad rockets hit a Shiite-populated area of Beirut [image: Damage caused by a rocket blast in a parking lot in Beirut] Four people were wounded on Sunday when two rockets exploded in the Shiite-majority Hezbollah heartland of southern Beirut. "Two Grad rockets hit the southern suburbs of Beirut. One rocket struck a car showroom where four people were wounded and vehicles were damaged," the source told AFP. Lebanon's state National News Agency reported that five people were injured in the attack on the showroom, one of them critically. The report added that the other rocket hit in the nearby Maroun Misk street. That the launch site for the rocket was in an area between Aley's Aitat and Bsaba, a little over 10 kilometers southeast of where they hit, the NNA said. Meanwhile, Hezbollah's Al-Manar television said that a third, misfired, rocket was found in a valley near the launch sites of the other two missiles. Caretaker Interior Minister Marwan Charbel arrived to the scene of the rocket attacks shortly after they occurred and stressed that the rockets were fired from an uninhabited isolated area, adding that the objective is vandalism. We hope that Syrian events do not spill over into Lebanon and that all [parties] realize how dangerous the situation is, he continued. We have opened an investigation, and I have been informed of the location from which the rockets were fired and we hope to reach positive results. It was the first time the Lebanese capital's southern suburbs have been targeted during the two-year-old conflict in neighbouring Syria, where Hezbollah has thrown its military might into the regime's fight against rebels seeking to topple President Bashar al-Assad. Sunday's blasts came just hours after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah vowed "victory" in Syria. "I say to all the honourable people, to the mujahedeen, to the heroes: I have always promised you a victory and now I pledge to you a new one" in Syria, he said at a ceremony marking the 13th anniversary of Israel's military withdrawal from Lebanon. Nasrallah said Hezbollah would always stand by its ally Assad and his regime, stressing that its own interests were at stake. The fighting in Syria has already spilled over into the country's second city, the northern port of Tripoli, where 30 people have been killed in a week of clashes between pro-Assad Alawites and pro-rebel Sunni Muslims. https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/lebanonnews/rockets-hit-beiruts-dahiyeh [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:la...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
