Firstpost  

Hebollah has reportedly begun recruiting new fighters and exploring ways to rearm through domestic production and smuggling materials via Syria Iran-backed Hezbollah has been significantly degraded militarily by Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where the group is based. Despite these losses, the group has reportedly begun recruiting new fighters and exploring ways to rearm through domestic production and smuggling materials via Syria, according to a senior US official, an Israeli official, and two US lawmakers familiar with the intelligence. Regional implications Hezbollah’s long-term rebuilding plans could hinge on its access to Syria, where US officials are applying pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to cut ties with the group. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has refrained from publicly addressing its weapons stockpiles since the ceasefire, focusing instead on reconstruction efforts in southern Lebanon and Beirut’s suburbs, where Israeli strikes have caused widespread devastation.
