An exciting turn of events in the war now that Hezbollah has entered the conflict for real.

I wonder if Hezbollah really has sent as much as 5,000 fighters in Syria though. That's a lot of very well trained guerilla warfare combatants.

The 5000 number is from the rebels, the numbers I've heard about have gone anywhere from 1500 to 5000. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but Hizb Allah is the most capable and organized guerilla fighting force in the world and they do have thousands of highly trained fighters with experience fighting in Lebanon and against Israel. But on Lebanese television last thursday, a pro Hizb Allah journalist said that the group sacrificed 1200 of its own in the battle which is a very high number of dead for a group that isn't used to high casualties.
