Hezbollah has been preparing in recent months for a potential renewal of hostilities with Israel, utilizing funds transferred from Iran. This information comes from a Reuters report, citing Lebanese security officials familiar with the organization's activities. Since a relative lull in fighting in June, the group has focused on rebuilding its military capabilities, which suffered significant damage over the past two years. Key efforts include acquiring explosives and accelerating the production of suicide drones and UAVs intended to target IDF positions. Hezbollah is also working to restore its damaged command and control systems.
According to security sources in Lebanon and an individual close to Hezbollah, Iran has provided the organization with tens of millions of dollars for military rehabilitation. This is in addition to approximately $200 million recently transferred to aid families displaced from the group's support base. Hezbollah recently acknowledged that an explosives cache seized by Lebanese security forces belonged to them and was intended for use against Israel.
Despite these armament efforts, Hezbollah faces tactical challenges against the IDF's combat methods, including the use of armed drones and unmanned ground vehicles. During clashes in the towns of Bint Jbeil and on the Ali al-Taher ridge, Hezbollah operatives reportedly struggled after their units were isolated. Security officials indicate that the organization has not yet fully restored its weapons stockpiles or personnel strength. Hezbollah also faces growing internal pressure in Lebanon to disarm due to the heavy cost of the conflict.
The Hezbollah information department has denied claims of collapsing command and control systems, asserting that Israel's presence in Lebanon grants them a "legitimate right to resist." Israeli officials declined to comment on the report.
