Hezbollah Reverts to Guerrilla Warfare in Southern Lebanon Ahead of Israeli Invasion: Reuters
Hezbollah uses small units and limits weapon use while preparing for prolonged conflict as Israel mounts airstrikes and increases troop presence in southern Lebanon, officials said.
- Reuters cited four Lebanese sources saying Lebanon's Hezbollah is reverting to guerrilla warfare in southern Lebanon to prepare for a possible full-scale Israeli invasion.
- Some 15 months since the 2024 war, Hezbollah framed its actions as 'existential defense' after Israeli attacks and last week opened fire, prompting a new Israeli offensive.
- Operating in small, dispersed units, fighters avoid communications devices susceptible to Israeli tapping, ration anti-tank rockets, appointing four deputies per commander, while Radwan elite fighters redeploy to southern Lebanon.
- Since March 2, the Israeli military says it has struck hundreds of Hezbollah targets and sent more soldiers into south Lebanon, while two Israeli soldiers were killed and the Beirut government ban took effect last week.
- With Syria's President Bashar al-Assad toppled in December, Hezbollah remains weakened from 2024 and faces Lebanese state pressure to disarm while expecting Iran's clerical leadership to survive for a regional ceasefire.
