  • The organization is using local operatives under civilian cover for intelligence gathering.

Hezbollah is reportedly exploiting areas in southern Lebanon designated as pilot zones under the Israel-Lebanon agreement, following Israel's withdrawal from these locations. According to a report by Kan News, the organization's activity is subtle, involving local operatives under civilian cover, and is conducted away from public view. Hezbollah's objectives in these zones include intelligence gathering, damage assessment, and strengthening its presence.

The report suggests that the Lebanese army's reluctance to confront Hezbollah facilitates this activity. A Lebanese political source from an anti-Hezbollah faction told Kan News that the Lebanese state is failing in its duties, allowing Hezbollah to fill the void left by Israel's departure. This situation underscores the critical importance of disarming Hezbollah, even before any further Israeli withdrawal, the source added.
