Oh yeah and Toby Matthiesen has written a lot about Saudi Shia including groups like Hezbollah al-Hijaz, his book “the Other Saudis” is okay (haven’t read any of his material on Bahrain).

available with Amazon prime. looking to make a torrent for it rn.
edit: looks like they have a lot of DRM protection. not sure how to extract the video file, unless anyone has any ideas.
It's not removed, you need an account to see it. Some of the casualties are attributed towards istishhadi operations that hit SAA convoys trying to advance towards the city afterwards.
I've got two book recommendations -
Book: Warriors of God
Author: Nicholas Blanford
Significance: Blanford, a journalist who spent many years as a correspondent in Lebanon, provides a detailed and readable account of Hezbollah's history, structure, and strategy.
Book: The Looming Tower
Author: Lawrence Wright
Significance: The Looming Tower provides an excellent and comprehensive history of Salafi Jihadism and how it relates to Al-Qaeda's development.
