Hezbollah chief says group lost its supply route through Syria

Hezbollah head Naim Qassem said on Saturday that the Lebanese armed group had lost its supply route through Syria following the toppling of President Bashar al-Assad nearly a week ago by a sweeping opposition offensive.

Qassem did not mention al-Assad by name in his televised address, and said the group could not make a judgment on Syria’s new ruling power until the country stabilizes.
