Hezbollah is exerting pressure on the head of Lebanon’s military court to secure the release of its members scheduled for trial on Monday, warning authorities against continuing with judicial proceedings, according to sources cited by Al Hadath.

The move comes as the first trial session for three Hezbollah members is set to take place. They are among 30 individuals detained by the Lebanese Army in the southern part of the country.

In recent days, the Lebanese Army detained multiple armed Hezbollah fighters at checkpoints in the south, targeting those suspected of carrying illegal weapons or engaging in militant activity outside the formal chain of command. The crackdown follows government efforts to limit Hezbollah’s military operations after the group fired rockets and drones toward Israel, part of a broader escalation linked to the wider US-Israel-Iran conflict.
