“Syrian army has mobilized units that have not participated until now in the conflict.  It has established an operations room….with Hezbollah and the units in charge of missiles are at an unprecedented level of alert.”-Al-Akhbar, Hezbollah news source

The majority political party in Lebanon, Hezbollah (aka Hizbullah), is mobilizing its military units, according to The Daily Star which in turn was citing official Hezbollah news sources.

Also, Agence France-Presse reported that reserve military units in southern Lebanon were being activated.

While Hezbollah is mobilizing military units those units are not making a show of force, instead reports say the more experienced Hezbollah fighters already on active duty  have “disappeared….in the past five days”, and been publicly replaced with younger members.  Units are also operating in silent running mode as they have turned off cell phones.  They are preparing to retaliate for a U.S. led attack on Syria.

Nanharnet citing Kuwait’s al-Rai newspaper, said that Hezbollah will try to keep Lebanon out of any war with Israel by launching their missile attacks from Syria.  An unnamed official stated that it was a co-ordinated retaliation operation between Hezbollah and Syria: “Hizbullah is controlling 8-thousand kilometers in Reef Homs and will not hesitate to participate in an attack by firing surface-to-surface missiles from Syria.”
