In response to the Iranian directives, Hezbollah has recalled all of its full-time, salaried members and issued secret internal orders assigning them to new roles. The preparations are viewed as a short-term scenario rather than a final decision to initiate a full-scale war.

To mitigate the impact of potential Israeli strikes on its senior leadership, Hezbollah is implementing a new combat system based on Iran's "mosaic defense" concept. This strategy decentralizes authority, granting greater autonomy to independent field units to ensure operations can continue even if central command is disrupted or commanders are eliminated.
