A large convoy of these forces, about 3 km long, started moving towards Lebanon. The main purpose of this advance is to support Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas, which are actively involved in a number of conflicts in the Middle East at the moment.
According to available data, the convoy consists of approximately 100 vehicles equipped with anti-tank missile systems (ATGMs) and other atomic weapons. In confirmation of the above information, the Iraqi group also provided a video showing vehicles moving along with light military equipment.

During the protests between 2019 and 2021 in Iraq, the pro-Iranian branches of the Popular Mobilization Forces were held responsible for the killings and injuries of a large number of protesters and activists.
The group's fighters have practiced urban warfare and raids on enemy settlements, and have participated in the Syrian civil war. Given all of the above, especially the fact that their personnel number at least 200,000 members, it is believed that they can easily pose new threats to Israel.
