A source close to Hezbollah said Saturday that the group sent 2,000 fighters to a part of Syria near the border with Lebanon, as ally Damascus reels from a rebel offensive that has seized major cities in recent days.

“Hezbollah sent 2,000 fighters to the Qusayr area… to defend its positions there and has not yet participated in any battles” with Syrian rebels, the source told AFP, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
