Hezbollah’s Military Forces Are Failing in Lebanon   Brian Carter | Middle East Portfolio Manager, Critical Threats Project   Lebanese Hezbollah is attempting to obfuscate the reality that its military forces in southern Lebanon are disorganized and conducting ineffective military operations against the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). IDF operations have so far successfully destroyed and disrupted many of the capabilities required for Hezbollah to threaten northern Israel.

Instead, Hezbollah showed limited resistance in some sectors while abandoning others in a way that shows no clear plan or pattern of operations.
