Hezbollah sent some ‘supervising forces’ overnight to Syrian city of Homs — Lebanese security sources

Lebanese security sources tell Reuters that Hezbollah has sent a small number of “supervising forces” from Lebanon to Syria overnight to help prevent anti-government fighters from seizing the strategic city of Homs.

A Syrian military officer and two regional officials close to Tehran also tell Reuters that elite forces from the Iran-backed terror group had crossed over from Lebanon overnight and taken up positions in Homs.

The comments come after Israeli fighter jets struck several border crossings and land routes between Syria and Lebanon overnight, which the IDF says were used to transfer weapons to Hezbollah.
