Syrian troops capture al Qusayr
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report Jun 6, 2013, 11:28 AM (IDT)
Assad’s al Qusayr victory Wednesday, June 6, presented the US, Israel and the Western alliance with a major strategic debacle. They paid the price of leaving the Syrian-Hizballah military machine orchestrated by Iranian officers a clear field. In contrast, a broad alliance of Russia, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Hizballah helped Bashar Assad turn the tide of war and seize the initiative. This machine is already geared up to capitalize on its success and trample Aleppo and southern Syria. Israel is next in its sights.
