Hezbollah Vows To Send More Fighters to Syria

Voice of America: Lebanon's Hezbollah Vows to Send More Fighters to Syria

The leader of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah movement said Friday that the group would send more fighters to Syria to support the Damascus government.

Hassan Nasrallah declared in a speech that he was sending reinforcements to Aleppo province, where he said the "greatest" battle of the civil war was taking place.

"We will increase our presence in Aleppo," Nasrallah said. "Retreat is not permissible."

In a rare admission of casualties, Nasrallah also said 26 Hezbollah fighters who had arrived in Aleppo earlier were killed this month.

Hezbollah has sent thousands of fighters to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's troops. Last month, a top militant commander, Mustafa Badreddine, was killed in an explosion in Syria.
