Hezbollah Rebuilds Military Capabilities in Bekaa to Prepare for Potential Iran Conflict, Sources Say

Lebanon… The Truck of Explosives and Lessons Ignored
The affair of the explosives transported from the Bekaa to Beirut has dispelled hopes that the second anniversary of the assassination of the former secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, would be an occasion for reviewing the party's military and political choices in light of its heavy losses and of what Lebanon, and the party's base in particular, has suffered in killing, displacement, and destruction. The discourse of the party and its secretary-general, Naim Qassem, affirmed the continuation of its course and defended it, rather than holding the leadership, its policies, and their results to account.

How Hezbollah Is Preventing Its Disarmament, Again
Hezbollah supporters blocked roads in Beirut and protested the Lebanese government’s attempts to assert sovereignty on October 16 and 17, after a series of government internal security raids compromised Hezbollah’s weapons smuggling, illicit finance, and de facto statelets within Lebanon. Hezbollah officials expressed fury at the government’s unannounced and entirely legitimate police action, and began threatening Lebanon’s government and population with civil conflict if the government continued to challenge Hezbollah’s criminal and terrorist activities on October 19. The Lebanese government responded with measures that Hezbollah officials likely did not expect, including major military deployments to the Hezbollah stronghold in Dahieh, Beirut’s southern suburbs. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam’s recent statements of resolve to restore the rule of law contrast entirely with Hezbollah’s desired effect, which is to freeze the government into inaction using credible threats of violent unrest.

Israel Withdraws Brigades from Southern Lebanon for Military Training
The Israeli army has started withdrawing several brigades from southern Lebanon as part of a "reactivation training" plan, with operations expected to continue for several weeks, Israeli news outlet Ynet reported.
The decision to pull back troops appears to be a strategic move, as military officials reassess the situation on the ground. The Israeli army is reportedly conducting these training exercises to prepare for potential future operations, signaling a readiness to respond to developments in the region.
In parallel, Israeli ground operations in southern Lebanon are set to persist for the coming weeks as military leaders await instructions from political authorities on whether a ceasefire will be reached soon.
