According to new footage and documents obtained by Planet Chronicle Digital, Hezbollah, a terrorist movement backed by Iran, has laid the groundwork for an invasion into Israel's north in a style similar to the Hamas attack on October 7th.

An IDF intelligence official informed Planet Chronicle Digital that Hezbollah has been planning their own version of the Hamas massacre that killed over 1,200 people, including more than 40 Americans, in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

The Radwan force of Hezbollah has been dismantled, according to an IDF official.

Hezbollah's "Conquer the Galilee" plan was revealed to Planet Chronicle Digital through an IDF interrogation of a Hezbollah terrorist and a review of their strategic warfare plans.

In October, a Rawdan terrorist was captured by IDF infantry in the Lebanese village of Aita al-Shaab. The IDF recorded the terrorist's interrogation. In military language, the operative revealed that Hezbollah has a plan to conquer the Galilee.

According to the terror operative, Hezbollah's war objective is to "occupy the Galilee."

The Rawdan forces are on the frontline, gathering information and building invasion tunnels, according to a man whose identity cannot be disclosed by the IDF for intelligence reasons.

He stated that they planned to gather information about settlements, positions, weapons, and tanks using intelligence equipment. The operation was scheduled to begin with a massive attack, including thousands of rockets and Burkan missiles, in the morning. Essentially, their plan was for war.

He stated that Rawdan's approach to Israeli civilians was to fight them face-to-face, and those who wanted to surrender could do so, just like he did, and they would be taken as prisoners and brought into Lebanon.

The Rawdan terrorist threatened to kill the Israeli civilians who refused to surrender.

The Rawdan force was named after Imad Mughniyah, the late Hezbollah leader who was assassinated in a joint CIA-Mossad operation in 2008. Mughniyah, also known as Rawdan, meaning he with whom Allah is content, carried out acts of terrorism under this alias.

In a video presentation on Oct. 1, IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari revealed Hezbollah's plan to "Conquer the Galilee" following the high-intensity warfare between Hezbollah and Israel that began in September.

For over a decade, Hezbollah's former general-secretary, Hassan Nasrallah, targeted the Galilee, a central region for both Old and New Testament history.

"We have prepared a plan for the next war, which includes entering the Galilee," said Nasrallah, according to a MEMRI translation of his statement from Al-Manar TV in 2019.

In September, Israel carried out a surgical military strike and eliminated Nasrallah, who was responsible for the deaths of American soldiers.

"The IDF intelligence official stated that Nasrallah's 2011 plan to conquer the Galilee was a massive undertaking, referring to the region that is famous among Christian pilgrims and is described in the New Testament, Matthew 4:23, where Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people."

In Lebanon, near Kibbutz Yiftach, the IDF discovered a document detailing the strategic planning behind Nasrallah's policy of destruction for towns and cities in the Galilee.

According to the document, the Hezbollah planning exercise outlines "raids on Kiryat Shmona, Nahariya and Tiberias."

The Hezbollah operative and author of the document, Mihrab, wrote that Company 1143 will provide air defense to secure the operational area and prevent enemy aircraft from disrupting the maneuvering forces, with the goal of capturing Kiryat Shmona.

The war plan outlines that the entire battalion will continue the offensive towards the city of Nahariya.

The report is a training exercise for Hezbollah operatives, which includes test questions. The locations to be seized are marked with "Hill" and a number, and they are believed to be Israeli targets. The document's date is uncertain, but one exercise attack is listed as January 1, 2018.

The war planning outlined in the document is a key component of Nasrallah's long-standing plan to invade the Galilee, as stated by the IDF.

The Hezbollah terrorists must detail the order of forces, develop a maneuver plan, develop a fire plan, and write the tasks of the maneuver units according to the decision.

In September, Planet Chronicle Digital reported that Israel removed Ibrahim Aqil, the head of operations and commander of its Radwan Forces, who was responsible for overseeing Hezbollah's plan to conquer the Galilee region.

The IDF intelligence official emphasized to Planet Chronicle Digital that Hezbollah's constant goal is to conquer the Galilee. He stated that they had destroyed Hezbollah's infrastructure and set them back a few decades. However, he warned that this plan to conquer the Galilee cannot be allowed to become practical again.

Last week, the U.S. brokered a fragile cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah. However, IDF soldiers claimed that the controversial U.N. peacekeeper force (UNIFIL) is allowing Hezbollah to violate the agreement.
