Iran has dispatched hundreds of ground troops to syria to fight alongside the forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
A full scale war is unfolding in Syria, with a ground offensive being planned to coincide with Russian air strikes, according to Lebanese sources.
?The (Russian) air strikes will in the near future be accompanied by ground advances by the Syrian army and its allies,? one of the sources told Reuters.
?It is possible that the coming land operations will be focused in the Idlib and Hama countryside,? the source added.
Lebanese Hezbollah troops will also join the Iranian forces, the sources note, as well as Iraqis.
The goal is to retake areas in northwestern Syria that fell to Western backed rebels earlier in the year.
?The vanguard of Iranian ground forces began arriving in Syria: soldiers and officers specifically to participate in this battle. They are not advisors ? we mean hundreds with equipment and weapons. They will be followed by more,? the second source said.
