Approximately 400 Hezbollah field commanders have been ordered to leave Lebanon for various South American countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, according to a new report in Saudi media.

A Latin American diplomatic source told Al Hadath that 200 commanders have already reached South America, with the rest expected to depart Lebanon in due course.

It is worth noting that Hezbollah already has an established terrorist network in South America, and in Lebanon maintains a force of several tens of thousands of terrorists.

The group had reportedly issued the order due to fears that the commanders could be targeted if and when its military infrastructure is dismantled by the Lebanese government, the source said.
