There are no "good" solutions here. They could try to poach defectors from the Assad Regime army or the Islamic State forces, but these individuals are likely hesitant to join. The Assad Regime Army is mostly made up of religious minorities which will likely do worse in a democratic Syria and the Islamic State forces are usually true believers in their cause. They could solicit foreign recruits, but this would damage the idea of this being a national army and not some Western conspiracy. They could forcibly conscript young men and women in the areas under their control, but this would make them deeply unpopular.
However, far more of an issue than manpower is training. Most of the Free Syrian Army has very basic military training, e.g. this is a rifle, squeeze here. They are not trained in urban warfare tactics. They do not have modern medical care. They do not have air support. If these problems were remedied, the lack of manpower would be far less of a pressing issue.

In order to win the Syrian Civil War, the Free Syrian Army would need training (likely from the US), a unified organizational structure, foreign monetary assistance, and military assistance from the US-led Coalition to bomb Islamic State and the Assad Regime targets in advance of the FSA advance.

That could work, from strictly a manpower perspective, but most foreign recruits would be untrained and poorly equipped. Additionally, each foreign recruit undermines the legitimacy of the Free Syrian Army as a Syrian Army. As a result, it is not a likely policy to be embraced.
Syrian Army was created on 1946-08-10.
Lebanon and Syria have not been in direct conflict since the Syrian army ended the Syrian Occupation of Lebanon in April 2005. There have been some border skirmishes, especially because some of the Syrian Civil War spills over into Lebanon, but there is no declared war between the Syrian Regime or any of the other Syrian Civil War parties and Lebanon.
The motto of Fatah is 'The winds cannot shake the mountain Ya Jabal Mayhezak Reeh'.
It was because of the manpower
In terms of manpower, India does.
The Arab Spring in Syria led to the Syrian Civil War as government crackdowns on unrest escalated into armed conflict. ISIS took advantage of the chaos in Syria to establish a presence, eventually expanding its control into Iraq as well. The group exploited sectarian tensions, power vacuums, and disenfranchisement to establish a self-proclaimed caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria.

The Confederate army did outnumber the Union army, at first. It was only late in the Civil War that conscription in the North brought in manpower that could not be matched by the smaller populations in the South. The Union also had considerably higher casualty rates, while collateral civilian deaths were much higher in the destroyed cities of the South.

When the Civil War ended, the attention turned to the west. During the war, the army's attention was focused upon the confederacy. When that issue was settled, the Army had the time and manpower to persecute and remove the Indians from their lands in the west. As the European expanded westward, they clamored for the Army to make their new homes safe.
