Hezbollah is understood to have moved all its activities out of Beirut or to be "preparing for the worst."

On August 12, according to Lebanese media reports, Hezbollah in Lebanon has evacuated all its headquarters in Dahieh, a southern suburb of Beirut, in recent days. But according to the Lebanese Republic newspaper, Hezbollah has now withdrawn all its operations, including its political branch, from Beirut. The move comes as Hezbollah threatens to make Israel pay for the killing of Hezbollah's top military commander, Shuker, and also shows that Hezbollah is "preparing for the worst" for a possible Israeli response after an attack.
