Hezbollah rebuilds military capabilities, upgrades FPV drones ahead of possible Israel war - report

Hezbollah has reportedly used the ceasefire to rebuild its forces in s. Lebanon, upgrade explosive drones to carry heavier payloads, and prepare for a possible wider war involving Israel and Iran.

Hezbollah is bolstering its terror capabilities in preparation for potential conflict with Israel, as regional tensions escalate. Al-Modon, a Beirut-based news outlet, reports that the group is upgrading its first-person view (FPV) drones to carry heavier payloads, and has extended the length of their cables to attack targets from a greater distance.

The Lebanese Armed Forces recently seized a truck containing explosives bound for Hezbollah, indicating the group's ongoing efforts to fortify its arsenal. Israeli officials are also preparing for military action against Hezbollah, with discussions involving multiple nations to remove the group's weapons. Despite these developments, Hezbollah remains focused on positioning itself for any future conflict, including potential collaboration with ongoing Yemeni hostilities.
