The quieting down of the war in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah following pressure from Iran and the United States has given the Lebanon-based proxy critical time to regroup and reconstitute itself before the next inevitable round of fighting, experts say.Hezbollah used the last major ceasefire, in November 2024, to recalibrate itself significantly, reportedly with extensive help from Iran. Though Hezbollah has largely been more effective this year than in the 2024 conflict, the recent fighting in Lebanon was just as imbalanced as two years ago, with thousands of Hezbollah fighters being killed at the cost of a few dozen Israeli military troops. It was given its first limited reprieve with a flimsy ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon in April, then a bigger reprieve this month with a stronger ceasefire as part of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding.Reserve Brig. Gen. Yossi Kuperwasser, former chief of the research division for the Israel Defense Forces’ military intelligence and current head of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, told the Washington Examiner that Hezbollah was, by and large, using the new ceasefire period to rearm and reconstitute itself.
