Hezbollah
The Taliban
&
Isis.
Both forces do a lot of fighting in Syria these days, often against each other, as Hezbollah supports Syria's establishment government (as does Iran, their sponsors) and ISIS is the most radical opposition group. Hezbollah affiliates have also been popping up in Iraq recently as part of the Shia militia cattle call and one of their brass was recently killed. LINK
Taliban doesn't have much to do with either of them, they are an insurgent group in Afghanistan concerned mainly with fighting the Persians and "sellout" Pashtuns in the legitimate government, which is currently engaged in a hilariously petty election recount death spiral over who gets the privilege of being unceremoniously deposed two years after we leave.
