Hezbollah forges new command for crucial ground war after heavy Israeli blows

Description

Andreas Krieg, a senior lecturer at the School of Security Studies at King's College London, said Hezbollah's capabilities had been degraded but it was still able to fire rockets with intensity onto Israel while keeping their ballistic missiles as weapons of last resort.
"Fighting Israel on the ground is Hezbollah's bread and butter," said Krieg.
"This is what they have trained to do and most of their defences on the ground were designed" for, he said.
He said Hezbollah wants to send a clear message to Israel, but also to its constituents in Lebanon and allies in the Iran-backed Axis of Resistance that it is still intact and "can inflict considerable harm" on Israel's forces, he said.
