The Nicholas Blanford school of journalism in reporting about matters relating to Hizbullah

"Several south Lebanon residents whose relatives are fighting in Syria or have undergone training told The Associated Press that an intense recruitment campaign has been underway. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about Hezbollah's operations, which are kept largely secret.   Once in Syria, the fighters wear pro-government National Defense Forces camouflage uniforms and are asked to speak with a Syrian dialect so they don't attract attention."  Fighters are also asked to sing Syrian songs and to only eat Baraziq and to only chant for Bashshar and to only dance Syrian dances.  (thanks Basim)
