The leader of the Lebanese Shia militant Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, has promised his supporters victory in Syria, where his fighters are backing President Bashar al-Assad.
Mr Nasrallah said Hezbollah would stay in the conflict till the end.
Syrian rebels in the besieged town of Qusair say they are under heavy bombardment from Hezbollah combatants.
The town is close to the Lebanese border, a conduit for both the government and rebels to get weapons.
In a televised speech from an undisclosed location, Mr Hasrallah said if Sunni Islamists took over in Syria, they would pose a threat to the entire Lebanese population - Shia and Sunni Muslims, as well as Christians.
He said his movement could never be aligned with Syrian rebels who, in his view, were supported by the United States and Israel.
Dozens of Hezbollah militants are said to have been killed fighting alongside Syrian troops in Qusair since 19 May, when government forces launched an offensive to recapture the rebel-held town.
Last week, US Secretary of State John Kerry said thousands of Hezbollah fighters were contributing significantly to the violence in Syria.
He added that Iran was actively supporting Hezbollah's involvement.
