In Syria, Hezbollah forces appear ready to attack rebels in city of Aleppo

Outside of Aleppo, Lebanese Hezbollah militants have assembled around the city. Many believe that this will invoke an attack on the city soon. According to an unnamed commander, there are 2,000 Hezbollah fighters that have stationed themselves outside of Aleppo. The article stated that the fighters have been previously stationed at cities such as Quisar and Damascus—here they have guarded the Shiite shrine of Sayyida Zaynab. The unnamed commander goes on to state that infiltrating into Aleppo is only the start of the game. He ends by saying that they will go after strongholds once they are in the city.
