The documentary stated that Suheil al-Hassan established a large command center in a region near the Syrian border, in the El-Hisa area of Lebanon, to manage operations. According to the recordings and documents, it was claimed that Mahmud es-Selman, one of the elements of the Assad regime, is a Lebanese citizen, and about 20 pilots, led by Mahmud Hassuri, who was appointed by Iran, are trying to join this structure while residing in Lebanon.

The recordings obtained by Al Jazeera reveal that coordination was established between officers affiliated with the regime and Mikdad Fiteyha during events on the Syrian coast, and these groups' deployment points in Homs, Hama, Latakia, Tartus, and Damascus are identified.

The recordings, which reveal attempts to reorganize the ranks after the collapse of the old regime, suggest that Suheil al-Hassan stated in an audio recording that he has 168,000 soldiers in 5 regions.
