Lebanon has been the main source for both rebel arms and for sick and wounded

Hezbollah is a major part of the current government since June of 2011.I do not think that they would tolerate Syrian rebels.

Lebanon’s return to Syria-backed rule is likely to keep Hezbollah in check

Late last year or early this year there was an amusing article (maybe here on FR?) about how the Hizzies have had a habit of driving around at night in dark SUVs, going to various Lebanese villages to bust down doors and seize people for interrogation (murder in another location, basically).

So happens that Lebanon is one of the heaviest-armed countries in the world on a per capita basis, and the Lebanese villages now keep a few people up all night to listen for the trucks. When they hear a motorcade, they rouse the town, and the Hizbollah roll right on in to an ambush, and the survivors have to find reverse while under fire.

The gov’t of Lebanon is in name only.
