A Kuwaiti newspaper reported on Friday that some 1000 Hizbullah fighters have entered Syria in recent days, to ensure the stability of the regime, amid calls to arrange protests in Syrian cities similar to those in Egypt.

The newspaper quoted well-informed Syrian sources as saying that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the Secretary General of Hizbullah Hassan Nasrallah, had reached an understanding regarding the deployment of about 5000 Shiite fighters in sensitive areas in Syria if Assad's regime needed them for its protection.
