Hezbollah is rearming at an alarming rate
On the northern front, a secret report shared in the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in the Knesset said Hezbollah’s rearmament rate was faster than the IDF’s current attacks on it.
The report stated that Hezbollah strengthened its forces faster than the IDF managed to hit, and that the blows it received in the last war began to lose their effect as the organization reorganized its forces.
