Event Summary

Hezbollah is engaged in a renewed military conflict with Israel, applying guerrilla warfare tactics in south Lebanon. This offensive was sparked by the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, amidst a broader US-Israeli war on Iran. Hezbollah faces internal criticism in Lebanon for dragging the country into war, which has displaced 700,000 people, and the Beirut government has banned its military activities. The group's supply route from Iran has been severed due to the toppling of its Syrian ally, Bashar al-Assad. Israel is continuing its offensive, striking Hezbollah targets and deploying troops, while Hezbollah is stabilizing its ranks despite losses. Both sides are preparing for a protracted conflict, with Hezbollah's calculations tied to the survival of Iran's clerical leadership and a regional ceasefire.
