Hezbollah is operating inside Syria’s borders, with about 1,500 of its agents providing “extensive support” for the Syrian regime, The Times has reported, lending strength to an earlier Al Arabiya report, which cited leaked Syrian files, that Hezbollah was actively involved in the Syrian unrest from the early months of the uprising.

Hezbollah is long believed to be providing ground support for there gime of incumbent Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in its bid to quash the national uprising that began in March of 2011.

Sources close to the Lebanese- Shiite Hezbollah and members of Syria’s rebel alliance - the Free Syria Army - as well as Western diplomats, have stated Hezbollah’s involvement in the Syrian crisis.

This is a claim Hezbollah has repeatedly denied.

Despite the attempt to distance themselves from such allegations, a senior Hezbollah commander was buried in the east Lebanese Beqaa valley this week, Syrian rebels claim he was killed in their country, The Times reported.
