New from @mattlevitt.bsky.social and Michael Jacobson in @foreignpolicy.com: "If the past is precedent, then Hezbollah will rely heavily on those international networks to bounce back from its recent setbacks."

Hezbollah Is Rearming, Putting Cease-Fire at Risk
The Lebanese militant group is rebuilding its battered ranks and armaments, defying the terms of the cease-fire and raising the possibility of renewed conflict with Israel.
#Hezbollah Is Rearming, Putting Cease-Fire at Risk. Some of those weapons are coming in via seaports and weakened but still functional smuggling routes through Syria, some of the people said. Hezbollah is manufacturing some new weapons itself www.wsj.com/world/middle...
