Lebanon’s Hezbollah has been significantly degraded militarily by Israel, as per US intelligence accessed by Reuters. However, US warns that the Iran-backed group will likely try to rebuild to pose a long-term threat to America and its regional allies.US intelligence agencies assessed in recent weeks that Hezbollah, even amid Israel’s military campaign, had begun to recruit new fighters. The group was trying to find ways to rearm through domestic production and by smuggling materials through Syria, as per assessment.It’s unclear to what extent those efforts have slowed since last week when Hezbollah and Israel reached a shaky truce. The deal specifically prohibits Hezbollah from procuring weapons or weapons parts. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION2:10 HEZBOLLAH LOSES HALF OF ITS ARSENAL BUT…3:33 ‘HEZBOLLAH DESIGNED TO BE DISRUPTED”4:38 THE CHALLENGES AHEAD
