14:37 - 19.05.13
Syrian government forces have surrounded the rebel stronghold of
Qusair and are storming it from several directions, says Syrian state
TV.
Fighting has gone on around the town, near the Lebanese border, for weeks.
Syrian opposition activists said government air strikes and heavy
shelling had killed at least 16 people in the town so far.
Opposition groups say militants from the Lebanese Hezbollah movement
are fighting alongside government forces.
There are also reports that hundreds of Lebanese Sunni militants have
joined the fight on the rebels' side, says the BBC's Jim Muir, in
Beirut.
