It’s being reported that Iranian-backed militias in Syria are now headed for Lebanon to help Hezbollah in their newly proclaimed war with Israel.
Here’s the report:
Most of the leaders of the Iranian-backed militias have left the city of Mayadeen, east of Deir Ezzor, over the past two days, for the Qusayr area in the Homs countryside and from there to Lebanon, according to a local reporter of the DeirEzzor24 Network .
Our reporter said that among those leaving were the so-called “Hajj Najaf”, the official in charge of the Iranian “Al-Shifa” hospital in the city of Mayadeen, and “Hajj Malik”, the military commander in the Revolutionary Guard militia, with some leaders remaining in the city to complete some administrative matters, with the possibility of joining them.
The departure of the militia leaders from Deir Ezzor for Lebanon comes amid an Israeli military escalation against the Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon.
This makes total sense to me. And it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Iran was sending some if its own military to help Hezbollah because Israel did a lot of harm to these terrorists last week with the pager and walkie-talkie explosions. They really put the hurt on Hezbollah so they are likely just a shell of what they were.
