Lebanese media: Hezbollah relocated entire operation away from Beirut, including political wing

Lebanese media reports that in recent days Hezbollah has entirely evacuated its headquarters in the Beirut suburb of Dahieh.

Earlier this month, following the assassination of Hezbollah’s top military commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut, and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, it was reported that the terror group was moving its senior personnel away from its Beirut stronghold, in anticipation of potential Israeli strikes.

Now, however, Lebanese news outlet Al Joumhouria reports that Hezbollah has moved its entire operation out of Beirut, including its political wing.

The move comes as Hezbollah threatens to make Israel pay for the killing of Shukr and, according to the report, indicates that it is “preparing for the worst” with regard to Israel’s response if it finds itself attacked by the Iran-backed group.
