According to a single-source report, after intelligence located the hiding place of former Assad regime officers under Hezbollah protection in northern Lebanon, the Syrian army moved a commando force to the nearby border area, ready to raid when ordered. The report claims the force is aligned with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa (al-Julani). The information is unverified.
The report, published late Saturday night, describes a significant Syrian military posture along the northern Lebanon border. According to the claim, intelligence identified the location of former Assad regime officers who have been living under Hezbollah's protection in the region. In response, a Syrian commando force — reportedly aligned with President Ahmad al-Sharaa (al-Julani) — has been moved to the border area and is awaiting orders to raid the site.
The report comes amid mounting tensions between Hezbollah and the Syrian government. In late July, The Zioneer reported that Lebanese sources noted unusual Syrian troop movements toward Tripoli, though that claim also remained unverified. Earlier in June, reports indicated Syrian forces were massing along the border with reported U.S. backing, as part of a broader plan to pressure Hezbollah. If accurate, the current deployment would mark a direct military challenge to Hezbollah's presence in northern Lebanon and could trigger a significant escalation. The information remains unverified and based on a single source.
