Over the past year, Hezbollah has faced a growing existential crisis, intensified by the targeted assassinations of senior figures including Fuad Shukr, Ibrahim Aqil, Jawad Tawil, and particularly Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and his successor, Hashem Safi al-Din. Once Iran’s most formidable proxy and a significant strategic actor in the Middle East, Hezbollah now contends with depleted leadership, military setbacks, and mounting international pressure. Does this signal genuine weakening within the Shiite terrorist organization?
According to Lebanese sources, Hezbollah is undertaking drastic measures to ensure its survival, notably relocating the families of hundreds of senior commanders to Latin America.
Lebanese journalist Ali Hamadeh recently disclosed in a video published on his X (formerly Twitter) account that the families of approximately 400 Hezbollah leaders have left Lebanon, finding refuge primarily in South American countries like Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, and Ecuador. Hamadeh explains this relocation is driven by the growing recognition that Hezbollah’s military capabilities are deteriorating, and the continued presence of these commanders’ families in Lebanon significantly increases their vulnerability to Israeli or international intelligence operations.

Hezbollah’s potential strengthening in Latin America poses serious security threats to both Israel and the United States. With the return of the Trump administration to the White House, renewed American attention to Latin America seems likely.
From a U.S. perspective, Hezbollah operatives migrating to South America pose security risks as well as structural immigration challenges. Countries like Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador, with porous borders and weak or corrupt governance, provide ideal conditions for smuggling, document forgery, and evasion of immigration controls.

UNRWA has GOT to go!
Not only
It sounds like they are cutting and running. Kind of like the Nazi leadership in the aftermath of WWII.
True That.
But moving their top leadership to our hemisphere is something not to be take lightly.
The Cartel’s are now connected to Iranian elements.
Mexican Cartel’s employ head choppers and other insane butchers. Yes, Central and South American once worshiped death.
Hezbollah/Iran will futz with Lebanon for as long as possible.
There is a very effective arrangement/protocol involving the Lebanese government/army and Israel. When Hezbollah, or any like-minded jihadist, starts something, Lebanon gets first crack at shutting it down. If they cannot, they contact Israel, who can definitely shut it down.
PS - I wonder if Mossad is selling pagers and cell phones in South America?
Hezbollah is trying to find their balls so they can regroup. Find their balls.... literally.
I’m not sure. But I could understand why their leaders would move out of Israel’s range.
IDF has identifying those in charge and taking them out. Many were appointed one day, and were taken out that day or night, or next day. With surgical precision.
Yes. Literally.
And they will keep that in mind as long as they live. (Some died on spot)
During the last years of Paraguayan dictator Stroessner the Paraguayan office in Lebanon issued thousands of passports or paper that would allow Muslims to live in Paraguay. Meanwhile, in Brazil and Argentina their diplomats were providing passports to Muslims at a good price. The result has been the Islamification of the Brazil-Argentina-Paraguay triborder region. Today, Foz de Iguacu, Brazil and Ciudad del Este, Paraguay may as well be Muslim cities. Crime is rampant, and the region may as well be considered an exclave of the Middle East.
Thank you for perspective. It does not surprise me, but I did not know how widespread it was.
After WWII many Nazi German soldiers did immigrate to several countries in Central and South America. Brazil was the most noted right after the war.
I take the author’s analysis very serious when he warns against threats to the USA.
