Wounded Syrians: Eliminate Hezbollah
Dozens of Syrians wounded in their country's civil war and currently hospitalized in the Ziv Medical Center in Safed are blaming Hezbollah for the current crisis in their home country. The patients say that Israel must act against sources in Syria in order to take out the Assad regime and Hezbollah. "There is chaos in Syria, no one knows who's up against whom," one said, a week after Hezbollah commander Jihad Mughniyeh and a number of other members of the group were killed in a strike on the Syrian border, allegedly undertaken earlier this month by Israel.
Hussam, a 27-year-old from Damascus, worked as an electrician in Quneitra. He was on his way home when a rocket exploded next to him, severely wounding him. "It's all a big mess in Syria. Every time the rebels approach a certain area, Assad's army begins to attack all the areas controlled by the rebels," he says. "Hezbollah causes us more problems than solutions. We will achieve peace only if Hezbollah pulls back. Since the beginning of the war, they have been engaging in acts of crime and assassinating men on the ground."
One of the wounded, who had no contact with his family since his arrival to Israel, said: "I want to go to Syria to tell them about the amazing treatment I received in Israel. The doctors are treating us just as they treat Israeli patients," he said.
"It made me change my mind about Israel and wish for peace," he added. "We were taught that Israel is the enemy of Syria and all Arab countries. Now that I stayed here, I believe the opposite is true; Israel is better than other Arab countries, which don't admit wounded people. I want to thank the Israeli government for its help."
