Hezbollah Advances in Syria

Hezbollah soldiers, out of Lebanon, attacked Syrian rebel positions, on Sunday.

Syrian helicopters and militia supported the Hezbollah advance against three villages held by the Free Syrian Army.

Rebel forces have held onto the towns, for now.

The fighting shows the international level of the Syrian civil war, where both sides are backed by international groups.

Just last week a commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard was killed in Syria, where he had been aiding the national forces.

Over seventy thousand people have been killed in the twenty-three month long conflict.
