For the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), little has changed over the past few decades. Zahar Abi Assaf, who hails from Suweida, and Khaled al-Azraq and Mohammed Qanaa from Aleppo, and countless other Syrians were killed in action in South Lebanon in the 1980s fighting the Israeli occupation. A few weeks ago, Mohammed Awad, who hails from Almat in the Jbeil district of Lebanon, was killed fighting in Homs, almost 30 years later, in what many SSNP members believe is the same “trench and battlefield” as South Lebanon.
