Hezbollah has been preparing for a potential resumption of hostilities with Israel for the past three months, according to Lebanese security sources familiar with the group's activities, as reported by Reuters. The organization has reportedly used the lull in fighting since June to rearm and rebuild some of its military structures. Efforts are focused on acquiring explosives and manufacturing drones capable of being deployed against Israeli positions, two Lebanese security sources told Reuters. One of these sources, along with another individual close to Hezbollah, stated that the group has received tens of millions of dollars from Iran to enhance its combat capabilities. This funding is in addition to an estimated $200 million previously reported to have been provided by Tehran to assist displaced families from Shiite strongholds. Hezbollah is also working to re-establish its command and control structures, which were disrupted during decisive battles, according to several security officials cited by Reuters. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Iran and its proxies aim to disrupt elections.
