Who Leads the New Hezbollah Generation
A Lebanese security source revealed that Hezbollah has recently sent dozens of new commanders to various military and security positions. However, security agencies lack comprehensive intelligence files on most of them, in an effort to conceal the alternative leadership layer after many key figures in its military structure were killed. It was explained that the party deliberately refrains from highlighting these commanders, and each one is limited in their connections to a few units and fighters. Additionally, the circle of information available to field officers has been reduced to minimize risks in case they are identified or targeted. The source indicated that this model reflects the severity of the security problem resulting from a series of assassinations, which demonstrated Israel’s ability to reach Hezbollah leaders. This has prompted Iran to oversee the direct reconstruction of the military wing by deploying Iranian advisors to assist in managing military affairs and restructuring the leadership hierarchy. Consequently, Hezbollah has shifted toward smaller, more flattened units resembling the small cells it operated in during the 1980s, in an effort to reduce potential losses if targeted by Israel. This raises questions about the actual actor behind this transformation and whether Iran is fully taking charge of the military leadership, especially given the weak structural organization and the extent of Israeli strikes.
