Hezbollah has spent three months preparing for a possible resumption of hostilities with Israel after receiving fresh cash from Iran, Lebanese security sources told Reuters. The group is stockpiling explosives, building attack drones and rebuilding command structures, with a focus on weapons that can target Israeli troops. It was dealt severe blows in two wars with Israel since 2024, and Israeli forces occupy southern Lebanese villages while pressure mounts in Beirut for its disarmament. The Times of Israel reported that Hezbollah claims a right to resistance against Israel.
