Local sources in Syria reported that the Lebanese Hezbollah withdrew about 1,500 of its members fighting alongside the Syrian regime army.

Anatolia Agency reported on Wednesday that the party summoned its members from different regions of Syria within the last two weeks.

It indicated that the party's members withdrew from the 46th Brigade in the western countryside of Aleppo, from the city of Saraqeb and Qaratin, east of Idlib Governorate, and from the areas of Maarat al-Numan, Khan Shaykhun, Kafr Rumah, Kafranbel, and Hazarin, south of Idlib.

The elements moved first to the Qusayr area, southwest of Homs Governorate, and from there to Lebanon, according to the sources.

The sources confirmed the deployment of members of the Iranian-backed groups and the Afghan "Fatemiyoun" and "Baqir" brigades in the places from which Hezbollah members withdrew.

The party's decision came after mutual clashes between its members in southern Lebanon and the Israeli army on the southern border since last October 8.

The clashes come as a result of a war waged by Israel on the Gaza Strip since last October 7, during which residential neighborhoods were destroyed on the heads of their residents. The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced that the number of martyrs since the start of the war on the Strip had risen to 10,569, as massacres took place today, Wednesday. 

Among the total martyrs were 4,324 children and 2,823 women, and 26,475 Palestinians were injured as a result of the ongoing war for the 33rd day in a row.
