- Since 2023, Hezbollah has faced devastating Israeli strikes that severely reduced its military capacity and leadership.
- The group’s political influence has diminished due to the fall of key allies and mounting pressure on its Iranian backer.
- Lebanon’s armed forces have started replacing Hezbollah in southern regions and gained control over strategic sites like Beirut airport.
