The Radwan forces
The Radwan forces are Hezbollah’s special forces consisting of Hezbollah’s best fighters, with many having had experience fighting in the Syrian civil war.
The Radwan forces have been active during the exchanges of fire in the north between Israel and Hezbollah.
Several high-ranking Radwan commanders have been targeted during the war, with the mastermind of the March 2023 Megiddo bombing being killed in February, he was also responsible for coordinating Hezbollah’s attacks in the immediate aftermath of October 7.
Hezbollah has been rumored to want to avoid losses of commanders and fighters from the Radwan forces due to their experience and ability.
