Hezbollah's Evolving Military Strategies
Brigadier General Elias Hanna, a military and strategic expert, has analyzed the recent shifts in Hezbollah's military strategies against the Israeli occupation army. He highlighted that Hezbollah is now extending its operations deeper into Israeli territory, targeting key regions such as Safed and Haifa, and even areas close to the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This marks a significant change in Hezbollah's operational tactics, emphasizing a more aggressive stance.
Strategic Triangle and Targeted Areas
Hanna identified three critical areas forming a strategic triangle for Hezbollah: the southern region of the Litani River, the southern suburb of Beirut, and the northern Bekaa Valley. Operations in these regions are crucial, as they will shape the future diplomatic landscape between Hezbollah and Israel. By targeting these areas, Hezbollah aims to diminish its adversaries' influence and disrupt their social, cultural, and economic foundations.
Advanced Warfare Technologies
Hezbollah is reportedly enhancing its military capabilities through the adoption of new technologies and weaponry, including drones. These advancements allow for targeted strikes against significant Israeli assets, including gas platforms. Despite Israel's defensive systems, such as the
which is akin to the Iron Dome, the threat posed by Hezbollah's multi-dimensional military capabilities remains significant. Hanna emphasized that Hezbollah operates similarly to a regular army, equipped with drones, surface-to-air missiles, and cyber warfare capabilities. The ongoing confrontations in southern Lebanon, particularly in strategic high areas like Maroun al-Ras, are critical for both Hezbollah and the Israeli forces, as they seek to control these locations for tactical advantages.
