Lebanese military sources familiar with the matter revealed field movements described as "organized," supervised by a commander from the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in southern Lebanon, including redeployment of Hezbollah elements, changing military positions, and preparing new rocket positions, amid preparations for scenarios linked to the evolution of the confrontation between the United States and Iran and the possibility of its regional expansion.

The sources told Erem News that Ali al-Taher hill has turned into a main operations point from which operations to reorganize the deployment of party elements are managed, along with transporting military vehicles to new positions, in addition to preparing rocket sites that are gradually being equipped and deployed, allowing the southern front readiness for any military developments that might require opening a front north of Israel in support of Iran.

According to the sources for Erem News, the repositioning operations also include moving weapons to advanced positions, redistributing launch platforms and missiles that had previously been neutralized or dismantled, pending gradual redeployment according to field developments.

These movements, according to sources, coincided with Israel intensifying its raids over the past hours on the Ali al-Taher hill area, which is one of the most strategic sites in southern Lebanon.

A Lebanese military source familiar with the matter confirmed to Erem News that officers from the Quds Force directly supervise from within the area the operations of transporting weapons and identifying new rocket positions that are being prepared gradually and rapidly towards Israeli settlements, explaining that the goal of these movements is to raise the readiness of the southern front for any Iranian decision to open support fronts if the confrontation with the United States escalates or if Israel joins the anticipated military operations against Iran.

He added that information monitored by military circles and Lebanese reconnaissance entities indicates the existence of artillery preparation work and gradual redeployment of rocket platforms, in line with the nature of upcoming military developments.

These data come at a time when assessments are increasing regarding the nature of the role Hezbollah might play in any upcoming confrontation, amid reports suggesting that its support for Iran would be limited to military measures, without engaging in a full-scale war, given the significant losses the organization sustained in recent confrontations, in addition to internal pressures and divisions within its supportive environment, as well as differences with the Amal Movement and what is being raised about the future cohesion of the "Shiite duo."
