According to multiple Lebanese sources, Hezbollah has relocated the families of nearly 400 of its mid-level commanders out of Lebanon, with the majority reportedly settling in Latin America and a smaller number seeking refuge in Africa.
Journalist Ali Hamadeh revealed the development in a video posted on his X account. Citing a Latin American diplomat, Hamadeh stated that the deported families primarily belong to field commanders, not senior Hezbollah leaders, who remain in Lebanon—potentially to be relocated to Iran or Iraq.
Hamadeh suggests the move reflects growing concerns within Hezbollah about the viability of its military apparatus. "The military machine of Hezbollah is expected to collapse sooner or later," he warned, explaining that the evacuated commanders may be fleeing anticipated Israeli or international intelligence pursuits.
He also speculated that the mass relocation might indicate a strategic shift—possibly signaling an intention to avoid further direct military engagement in Lebanon or the Middle East.
