For years, Ghalib Balut held a number of positions in the Radwan Force, including commander of the unit's operations. As part of his duties, he was responsible for the unit's readiness and alertness for combat against IDF forces and the State of Israel.

During the war and throughout the recent period in particular, Ghalib Balut directed the Radwan Force terrorists and commanded dozens of terrorist plots against IDF forces in southern Lebanon, including anti-tank firing and the use of explosive devices.

Ghalib Balut also promoted the activities to restore the capabilities of the Radwan Force unit, and in particular the implementation of the "Galilee Conquest Plan" that the unit had built and promoted for years.

The Radwan Force unit operates with the funding and direction of the Iranian terrorist regime to harm IDF forces and citizens of the State of Israel.
