In response to the Iranian directives, Hezbollah has mobilized and recalled all of its salaried, full-time operatives, instructing them to report to new, secret operational locations. The organization is also implementing a new combat system designed to grant its field units greater autonomy. This measure aims to reduce the impact of potential Israeli strikes on central leadership and allow units to continue operating if command and control are disrupted.

Iran has reportedly warned Hezbollah that an American attack is likely a matter of time and urged the organization to be prepared. Meanwhile, Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Hezbollah of severe repercussions if it attacks Israel. Sources indicate that Hezbollah views these instructions as preparations for a potential scenario rather than a final decision to go to war, as the organization faces a dilemma between demonstrating deterrence and avoiding a new war for Lebanon.
