Tal Schneider Times of Israel, Jan. 2, 2024 “Eventually, Hezbollah got everything it needed from the Koreans. By 2014, they’d had 25 years of interaction, in the course of which Hezbollah received knowledge and technology to the point where it was able to dig and build the tunnels by itself.” Two weeks ago, the IDF […]

Seth J. Frantzman Jerusalem Post, Jan. 4, 2024 “… a terrorist army like Hezbollah can only push so far. It has a lot to lose in Lebanon and it has become so large that it also has a lot of assets that are not easy to simply fold up and move.” For the past […]
Dan Diker Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Jan. 8, 2024 “The Iranian regime’s proxy strategy, utilizing Hizbullah, Hamas, and the Houthis, intends to put Israel in a no-win position of all-out multi-front war while benefitting from the West’s mistaken conviction that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict drives the Middle East’s regional instability.” The Iran-backed Hamas war with […]

Dr. Yusri Khizran BESA, Dec. 10, 2023 “Hezbollah engaged in a Lebanese political-national discourse that ostensibly placed its military existence at the heart of the Lebanese national consensus. This was summed up in three words: people, army and resistance.” Hezbollah’s enduring enmity towards Israel reflects the ideological concepts on which it was founded. The […]
TOI Staff Times of Israel, Dec. 9, 2023 “The Americans have not set any deadline. … They understand that they can’t tell the IDF how long it needs to achieve the goals. They share the goals of returning the hostages — a campaign that a date cannot be set for — and of destroying Hamas. […]

In Speech, Nasrallah Explains Hezbollah’s Role in War with Israel: Jacob Olidort, JINSA, Nov. 3, 2023 Decoding Nasrallah: Hezbollah’s Strategy on the Israel-Hamas War: Dario Sabaghi, The New Arab, Nov. 6, 2023 What Did Nasrallah Really Say, and Why?: Hanin Ghaddar, Washington Institute, Nov. 3, 2023 Russia’s Wagner Group Plans to Send Air Defenses to Hezbollah, U.S. […]

Dario Sabaghi The New Arab, Nov. 6, 2023 “… there is no point for Hezbollah in anticipating and declaring war on Israel when the Palestinian groups are still very prepared for the Israeli invasion. The point is to wait for the result of the Israeli attack and how the Palestinians are going to behave.” […]
Michael R. Gordon and Vivian Salama WSJ, Nov. 2, 2023 “The conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have clear links. Since we cut off Russia’s traditional means of supplying its military, it’s turned more and more to Iran for assistance. In return, Moscow has supplied Iran with increasingly advanced military technology, which poses a threat […]
Jacob Olidort JINSA, Nov. 3, 2023 “…the language about a broader war being “a possibility” most certainly suggests Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, together with Hamas leadership (especially those based in Lebanon will actively coordinate in the coming days to determine the manner of further escalation short of fully opening a northern front (with the latter […]
Hanin Ghaddar Washington Institute, Nov. 3, 2023 “Nasrallah essentially declared that he will not be involved in the battle to “free Palestine,” a goal that lies at the core of his resistance narrative.” As expected, Hezbollah secretary-general leader Hassan Nasrallah did not declare war against Israel today—rather, his first public speech on the Gaza conflict served […]

David Schencker Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Oct. 23, 2023 “Iran appears for the time being to be inclined to preserve Hezbollah—its most important deterrent asset against a potential Israeli strike on the theocracy’s nuclear programme—rather than degrade its capabilities in the service of Hamas.” October 23 marks the 40th anniversary of Lebanese […]

Kim Ghattas The Atlantic, Oct. 18, 2023 “The unexpectedly high Israeli death toll may be one reason Nasrallah has kept silent—he is hedging, watching to see when and how far the Israeli army will go into Gaza, and whether Hamas will face an existential threat that requires Hezbollah’s response.” Villagers in southern Lebanon have […]
