The al-Hajj Radwan Force (Arabic: فوج الحاج رضوان, romanized: Fawj al-Ḥajj Raḍwān, lit. 'al-Hajj Radwan Regiment', also spelled Redwan or Ridwan) is a special forces unit of Hezbollah. According to Alma Center, its main mission is to infiltrate the territory of Israel, with specific attention to Galilee and northern Israel. Hezbollah has trained special forces fighters since the 1990s, which are today part of the Radwan Force. Originally known as the "Rapid Intervention Force" or the "Intervention Unit", the unit was renamed in 2008 to honor Imad Fayez Mughniyeh, a senior Hezbollah leader also known as "Hajj Radwan." The Radwan Forces have particular experience in raids and small unit tactics. The unit has been active in various conflicts, including the Syrian civil war and the ongoing skirmishes along the Lebanon–Israel border. The unit has been involved in the fighting since October 7, 2023, and is expected by Israeli officials to lead any future Hezbollah incursions into Israel.
