Hezbollah has received instructions from Iran to significantly increase its military readiness in anticipation of a potential regional conflict, according to Lebanese security and military sources cited by the Emirati website "Aram News." Tehran believes such a conflict is imminent and has directed the Lebanon-based organization to prepare.
In response, Hezbollah is reportedly undertaking preparatory actions, including discreetly relocating personnel to new operational sites and activating a new combat system designed to grant its field units greater autonomy. This move aims to reduce the impact of potential Israeli strikes on central leadership and allow units to continue operating even if command and control are disrupted.
The sources indicated that these directives are part of ongoing coordination between Iran's Revolutionary Guard and its regional allies. This coordination includes planning for a potential escalation involving Israel and the United States, with synchronized military responses being developed should a new war break out.
Hezbollah views these instructions as preparations for a possible scenario rather than a final decision to go to war. The organization is adopting Iran's "mosaic defense" doctrine, which emphasizes distributed responsibility and reduced reliance on a central command structure. This shift is seen as a response to significant losses sustained from Israeli operations, making the organization's structure more resilient to decapitation strikes.
This heightened alert comes amid escalating rhetoric from Israel. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that if Hezbollah joins Iran in an attack on Israel, it would face severe repercussions, potentially losing more territory in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah faces a dilemma between demonstrating its deterrent capabilities and avoiding dragging Lebanon into a new war.
