The video was aired by Asaib Ahl al-Haq al-Ahd TV station Thursday night showing  al-Khazali  along with several other people in military uniforms as they showed him around areas overlooking Israeli towns and villages. One of those guiding  al-Khazali  points to a mountainous region in a distance and tells him "this is Golan" in reference to Syria's Golan Heights that were captured by Israel during the 1967 Mideast war.
 Al-Khazali  is later seen standing next to a wall on the border near the Fatima Gate in the Lebanese border village of Kfar Kila.
 Al-Khazali's  Asaib Ahl al-Haq and Hezbollah are among the Iran-backed groups that are fighting in Syria along with President Bashar Assad's forces helping in tipping the balance of power in his favor in Syria's conflict now in its seventh year.
