Hezbollah has been preparing for a potential resumption of hostilities with Israel for approximately three months, utilizing a period of relative calm to replenish its arsenal and rebuild military structures. According to sources within Lebanese security services and individuals close to Hezbollah, the group has received tens of millions of dollars from Iran to enhance its military capabilities. This funding is reportedly being used to acquire explosives and develop drone production, with a particular focus on attack drones capable of targeting Israeli positions. The group has also acknowledged recent seizures of explosives intended for use against Israel.
Despite significant losses in previous confrontations, Hezbollah remains committed to confronting Israel. The current lull, ongoing since June, is being leveraged to restock weapons and prepare for future clashes. Sources indicate that Hezbollah is working to restore its command structures, which were impacted in key battles, particularly in areas like Bint Jbeil and the strategic ridge of Ali al-Taher. The article notes that some units became isolated due to tactics involving small units and limited use of anti-tank missiles, forcing them to contend with Israeli remote-controlled systems, including armed drones and ground vehicles.
Hezbollah has not fully recovered its reserves and fighting strength, and preparations for a potential new phase of conflict are ongoing. The group's press service stated to Reuters that the presence of Israeli forces in Lebanon grants them a legitimate right to resist, while denying reports of damage to their command and control system. Hezbollah did not directly confirm its participation in future hostilities, with its press office indicating a desire not to provoke escalation from Israeli leadership. Internally, the group reportedly fears that new fighting could lead to further displacement of its supporters and their families. The article also briefly mentions U.S. preparations for a potential large-scale operation against Iran, contingent on a presidential order.
