Al-Arabiya Tuesday cited a “source close to Hezbollah” on Tuesday as saying that his party might take over Beirut militarily if the Syrian regime falls.

“ Hezbollah officials have begun to worry about the potential fallout that may result following the collapse of the Syrian regime,” the source added.

“The moment that Hezbollah feels that the fall of Syrian President Bashar al- Assad is imminent – either as a result of the popular movement or foreign military intervention – it will move quickly to take control of East and West Beirut,” Al-Arabiya cited the source as saying.

According to the report, the Free Patriotic Movement would support Hezbollah if it decided to launch an offensive in the Lebanese capital.
