Hezbollah is a Lebanese Shia Islamist paramilitary organization and political party, proscribed by multiple states and backed by Iran. Known for its heavily armed militia, extensive tunnel networks, and role as Iran's primary regional proxy against Israel.

After UNESCO moved forward with criticism of Israel over heritage sites, Israel responded by accusing the organization of ignoring Hezbollah’s military use of Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon.
Israel says Hezbollah built an extensive tunnel network beneath the historic fortress and used the site to launch roughly 400 rockets at Israeli communities. The Foreign Ministry also released graphics and video it says show the tunnels beneath Beaufort Castle, arguing UNESCO has remained silent on the site’s militarization while condemning Israel.
NEW: Around 40 Hezbollah operatives are reportedly trapped inside a sprawling underground tunnel complex beneath the Ali Taher ridge.
The IDF has sealed the tunnel entrances, while Israeli security officials assess the operatives could run out of supplies within days, increasing the likelihood of a breakout attempt.
The complex reportedly stretches more than one kilometer and contains command centers, weapons depots, and rocket-launch facilities.
Iran is a rich country. One of the reasons why Iran is in shambles is because every penny that this regime ever gets, be it through sanctions relief or through the oil they're able to get out, they invest in Hezbollah. They invest in Hamas...
They should be spending billions of dollars building their country, but instead they use it to sponsor terrorism.

A Lebanese army vehicle struck an explosive in southern Lebanon earlier today, killing one soldier and wounding two others.
The IDF says the device was likely planted by Hezbollah, not Israeli. It went off in the Almanzuri area of the security zone, where Israeli forces have not been present recently. The Lebanese vehicle entered the zone without the required prior coordination.

Italy has offered to work alongside the U.S. within the special verification mechanism for the pilot zones in southern Lebanon, meant to ensure the areas are cleared of Hezbollah weapons, a diplomatic source told Sky News Arabia.
Lebanon agrees to any European state joining the mechanism.
The Lebanese army will first deploy to Fron, then to Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh, al-Ghandouriyeh, Qalawiyeh, Burj Qalawiyeh and Sarifa.
The IDF opposes withdrawing from Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh under the plan.
A Hezbollah cell operating a drone near Israel's security zone in southern Lebanon was struck and killed today, the IDF says.
Commando Brigade troops spotted the drone over Kfar Tebnit. The IAF then located the operatives hiding nearby and struck them "to remove the threat to our forces."
Meanwhile, the IDF is continuing to degrade Hezbollah infrastructure, with heavy destruction now reported in the town of Zawtar al Sharqiya in southern Lebanon.
Hundreds of drones, rockets and weapons were found hidden inside an oil tanker at Syria's border with Iraq. Syrian authorities say the shipment was an IRGC smuggling attempt bound for a Syrian port, likely destined for Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Syria's Interior Ministry seized a weapons truck that left Iraq bound for Hezbollah in Lebanon. It was carrying 150 explosive drones, long-range missiles, and anti-tank missiles. An investigation continues to capture all those involved. - Al Hadath
Iraq has placed Hezbollah in Lebanon and terror-linked entities on its banking sanctions list, following an American request to the Iraqi government.
The designation was issued under amended Executive Order 13224 on combating terrorism, targeting the financing and logistical support networks the group relies on. The circular came from the Director General of the Economic Department and the head of the Iraqi Fund for External Development.
Hezbollah is secretly carrying out logistical and military preparations, including stockpiling food supplies and working to deliver them to the terror group's operatives at hidden locations along the front lines using various methods. The preparations are being made while awaiting a "zero hour" to be determined by the Revolutionary Guards.
Hezbollah is preparing an escalation plan against Israel that would intensify attacks on northern communities, per Emirati outlet Aram News, citing Lebanese political sources. The group is awaiting Tehran's approval and has begun reinforcing positions north of the Litani River.
The generation raised in Hizbullah institutions is like the Hitler Youth. It took time, but they broke free from the rigid ideology and cast off their shackles. Hizbullah's rule is no different from the Nazi regime.

A man close to Hezbollah was arrested for allegedly spying for Israel, a Lebanese judicial official told AFP. Mohammad Ali Shamseddine was detained at Beirut airport while preparing to fly to Iraq. The official says he used trips between Iraq and Turkey to meet people linked to Mossad and pass on targets in Beirut. His proximity to senior Hezbollah figures gave him access to internal movements and intelligence, later tied to the killing of several commanders, including four senior security figures.

Emanuel Fabian of The Times of Israel went to visit one of Hezbollah’s largest underground military complexes beneath the Beaufort Ridge in southern Lebanon after recapturing Beaufort Castle, a strategic position overlooking Metula and the Galilee Panhandle.
According to the report, the 1.3 km tunnel network was built with direct Iranian assistance over an estimated 10 to 15 years. The underground complex included living quarters, electricity, running water, showers, kitchens and a fully equipped operating room, allowing Hezbollah fighters to remain underground for months.
The IDF says the tunnels were designed to launch attacks into northern Israel and defend against Israeli ground operations. During the operation to capture the complex, Israeli forces eliminated Hezbollah fighters inside the tunnels and seized an exceptional cache of advanced Iranian weapons, including air defense systems not previously encountered.
The military plans to demolish the tunnel network.
Just north of Beaufort, on the Ali Taher Ridge, Israeli forces say Hezbollah’s Badr regional command remains trapped inside another major underground complex. The IDF controls the surface and continues to monitor the site, but has not entered the facility because of the current ceasefire. @manniefabian
The U.S. will send a team to Lebanon to back the Lebanese army in pilot zones in the south and verify the areas are clear of Hezbollah, Al-Arabiya reports. The mission is described as logistical, not combat.
