About 400 field commanders of the terrorist group Hezbollah are scheduled to leave Lebanon for various countries in South America, including Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador, according to a Latin American diplomatic source revealed to the Saudi media outlet Al Hadath on Wednesday.
The information comes amid the growing internal debate in Lebanon about a possible disarmament process of the Shiite organization, following its heavy defeat in the conflict with Israel. According to the source, around 200 of these commanders are already in South American territory, while the rest will leave Lebanon in the coming days.
The diplomatic source assured that Hezbollah's leadership gave the order to withdraw its commanders out of fear that they might be attacked if the dismantling of their military apparatus occurs. It is important to note that the group already has an active terrorist network in South America and, within Lebanon, keeps a force of several thousand fighters.
