Two security sources describe purchases of explosives and drone production in preparation for a possible resumption of fighting with Israel. Other testimony concerns rebuilding damaged command structures.

Responding to Reuters, Hezbollah’s media office disputed the suggestion that its command systems had collapsed and invoked Israeli occupation to defend the legitimacy of its resistance. The described financing and preparations rely on testimony gathered by the agency; the versions consulted in other languages do not provide additional independent corroboration.
