Lebanon in the Syrian civil war

By 2014, Hezbollah had become actively involved in support of Syrian Ba'athist Government forces across Syria.

The Hezbollah and Amal affiliated politicians and ministers generally stated in support to the Syrian Ba'athist government, whereas other parties criticized it.

Pro-Syrian forces fought against opposition to the al-Assad presidency in the Bab al-Tabbaneh, Jabal Mohsen clashes, leading to the deaths of three people and more injuries.

One Sunni cleric alleged that the Syrian president sent forces into Tripoli to introduce unrest within the region.

March 2012 discussions on the national level include concerns that toppling the al-Assad government would result in regional instability for Lebanon and Iraq.

By 2014, Hezbollah involvement begun to turn steady in support of Syrian Ba'athist Government forces across Syria.

In the past, Hezbollah has served a strategic arm of Iran in the region, allegedly playing a key role in the Iran-Israel and Iran-Saudi Arabia proxy conflicts in the middle east.
