This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hezbollah has begun withdrawing its special Radwan forces from southern Lebanon over the weekend, amid fears over a surprise IDF attack and escalation of the conflict in Israel’s northern border, according to Israeli media.
The IDF received intelligence suggesting that Hezbollah forces were partially moved from Lebanon’s south to its north, mostly due to the high number of casualties suffered by the Lebanese terror organization since October 8, when it started targeting northern Israeli border towns in the wake of the October 7 massacre.
As per the report, thousands of Hezbollah operatives from different branches of the Shi’ite terror group’s armed wing were also repositioned further away from Israeli territory, in addition to the elite Radwan forces.
It is not clear if this withdrawal of forces is temporary or permanent, Israeli defense establishment officials told Walla!, adding that they believe the withdrawal was carried out with the intention of limiting the number of casualties among the Radwan special forces.
The Radwan is seen by Hezbollah’s leadership, chiefly director-general Hassan Nasrallah, as a valuable strategic asset, as per the sources.
In addition, the military carried out several preemptive strikes to remove threats along the northern border.
