Report: Hizbullah Commanders Flee Lebanon for South America

(Israel Hayom) Shachar Kleiman - Some 400 Hizbullah field commanders are slated to leave Lebanon for South American countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador, according to a Latin American diplomatic source, the Saudi news outlet Al Hadath reported Wednesday. 200 commanders have already reached South America, with the rest expected in due course. Hizbullah already has an established terrorist network in South America. On Tuesday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun stated that 2025 would mark the exclusive centralization of weapons in state hands. He asserted that Hizbullah's disarmament would be achieved "through dialogue." Senior Hizbullah figure Mahmoud Qamati responded to the government's call to disarm the organization. "We are committed to our weapons, we are committed to our resistance. Whoever reaches out to touch our weapons - their hand will be cut off."
