Hezbollah is forming a committee of "investigation and force construction" in order to study the terrorist organization's failures during the latest war and to learn lessons to improve itself for the next round, according to a report yesterday (Saturday) by Kann reporter Roi Kais.
As part of this effort, Hezbollah will be mapping out "gaps" it identifies in performance and will also work to fill in all the positions rendered vacant by incessant IDF strikes and assassinations during the war.
Iran will also be deeply involved in the investigation, and there are already a number of Iranian officials on Lebanese soil involved in the committee and the investigation. The officials will reportedly also speak with lower level commanders and units to try and understand what happened and where the organization can improve.
Hezbollah started the war with Israel the day after the October 7th attack by Hamas in the south. Contrary to Hamas' hopes, Hezbollah fought a relatively limited war rather than join in on the invasion of the country, restricting themselves to rocket and anti-missile fire across the border at military and civilian targets.
The IDF responded to these attacks with artillery fire, targeted drone strikes, and air strikes based on drone reconnaissance and other intelligence.
Towards the summer, the Israeli government decided to escalate the war and began a series of targeted assassinations of Hezbollah's senior military and political leaders, including Hassan Nasrallah himself. The IDF ultimately eliminated almost all of the organization's entire leadership in this manner.
Israel also activated an operation which exploded pagers and walkie talkies in the possession of Hezbollah forces, killing a small number, critically injuring hundreds, and maiming thousands.
Israel then launched a carefully prepared air and ground operation which neutralized most of Hezbollah's missile and rocket arsenal and production capacity and which killed thousands more Hezbollah members.
The terrorist group ultimately agreed to a ceasefire which most commentators interpret as a defeat for the group.
