Hezbollah weighs scaling back its arsenal in wake of Israel conflict

LEBANON, JUL 4 – Hezbollah plans to reduce heavy weapons like missiles and drones while keeping lighter arms to maintain defense capabilities amid financial and political pressures, sources say.

  • In the aftermath of last year’s destructive conflict with Israel, Hezbollah is undertaking an extensive internal reassessment of its strategic direction while contending with severe financial difficulties and a decline in its political influence.
  • The review follows a truce reached in late November and growing pressures including U.S. demands for Hezbollah's disarmament and Israeli military strikes on its infrastructure.
  • Hezbollah has relinquished some weapons depots and is considering turning over additional heavy arms like missiles and drones only if Israel withdraws from southern Lebanon and halts attacks.
  • Hezbollah’s Secretary General Naim Qassem reported that the group has disbursed over $50 million to families impacted by the conflict, with an additional $25 million yet to be distributed; however, financial difficulties are evident through reductions in free medication programs and delays in funding.
  • Hezbollah aims to preserve political dominance in next year's legislative elections amid internal debates over arms, tensions with Lebanese rivals, and calls by Lebanon's government for a state monopoly on weapons.
