According to some YouTuber comments for the above video, since the above one is for an embedded copy of the YouTube one I'll provide the direct link for just below, it isn't Hezbollah fighters who were see in the foreground.

And the fighters in the foreground clearly weren't carrying out a "major assault", either. Not only are they too few in number, they're also too lightly armed, for this to merit being called a "major assault". And they pulled out when one of them was shot, which is surely not something to expect to see happen in a real "major assault".

I'll cite a couple of the YouTuber comments.

The free syrian army news line this came in on claims these guys are fighting against Hezbollah,and on the same day on twitter it was reported that Hezbollah had launched a large scale attack on the FSA from numerous sourses.Hebollah supports Assad,as does Iran.

This is not Hezbollah attacking. The FSA tried to mount an attack on Qusayr where Hezbollah have a strong presensce. The attack failed as Hezbollah stood strong and injured many im which FSA had to withdraw. The title is a lie and misleading.

Re. "VIDEO: Hezbollah Buries Its Fighters Killed in Syria - YouTube" :

That video surely needs verification, both, for what is said, and for thorough authenticity. The mere fact that the head of some militia group says Hizbullah sent forces in to remove their wounded or killed members so that this militia group couldn't take pictures to provide proof is suspect. And the subtitles aren't necessarily right. Someone who knows the language(s) spoken in the video and who isn't anti-Syrian govt with Bashar al-Assad as leader, but who also isn't one-sided either way, would need to verify what's actually said and check that against what the subtitles say.
