Hezbollah has been preparing for a potential renewal of hostilities with Israel for the past three months, reportedly receiving tens of millions of dollars from Iran to rebuild its military capabilities. The Lebanese militant group is focusing on acquiring explosives and producing drones for attacks against Israeli targets, according to a Reuters report citing security officials.

Since a lull in fighting began in June, Hezbollah has been rearming and attempting to restore its command and control systems damaged in previous clashes. In addition to the military aid, Iran has also provided approximately $200 million to assist displaced families in areas where Hezbollah operates.

Lebanese security sources indicate that Hezbollah has not yet completed its military preparations, including restocking its weapons caches and fully reorganizing its forces. However, the organization continues to seek new armaments. Hezbollah recently acknowledged that explosives seized by Lebanese authorities belonged to them and were intended for use against Israel, specifically for explosive-laden drones.

The group is also working to overcome damage to its command and control infrastructure, particularly in areas like Bint Jbeil and the Ali Al-Tahir ridge. Reports suggest that Hezbollah's operational tactics, including small unit actions and limited anti-tank missile use, have sometimes isolated its forces and made them vulnerable to Israeli remote-controlled warfare, such as drones and armed vehicles.
