Hezbollah commanders moving to South America?

Approximately 400 Hezbollah field commanders are slated to leave Lebanon for various South American countries, including Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador, according to a report on Wednesday by a Latin American diplomatic source to the Saudi news outlet Al Hadath.

The report comes amid growing discourse in Lebanon surrounding the possible disarmament of the Shiite terrorist organization, following its defeat in the war with Israel. According to the source, 200 commanders have already reached South America, with the rest expected to depart Lebanon in due course.

The diplomatic source said Hezbollah ordered its commanders to leave Lebanon fearing that they could be targeted if and when the organization's military infrastructure is dismantled. It is worth noting that Hezbollah already has an established terrorist network in South America.

Janoubia adds:

Over the years, Hezbollah has established a strong and multifaceted presence in Latin America, including illicit financing and operational networks spanning several countries, according to local media in these countries.
Information indicates that the area where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay meet is a major hub for Hezbollah activities. Here, the party engages in smuggling, money laundering, and fundraising through various illicit projects.
In Venezuela, Hezbollah leverages support networks, exploiting the country's political climate and existing diaspora communities to facilitate its operations.
Hezbollah researchers and information in American media outlets indicate that the party cooperates with South American drug cartels, such as the Medellín Cartel, to finance its activities. Key figures, such as Shukri Mahmoud Harb, have been identified as pivotal players in these operations.

Hmmm. What other group of people fled to South America to save their skins over the past century?
