Israel removed Hezbollah’s senior leadership, and the group isn’t recruiting new members.
Beirut: Last month, Israel began a fierce campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Since initiating initial airstrikes and subsequently ground operations, Israel has essentially destroyed the senior leadership of Hezbollah. This is the first time Hezbollah divisions have emerged since the Israeli campaign. Members of the Iran-backed terrorist group are reportedly escaping because they fear an Israeli attack, according to sources cited by the Arabic online news outlet Elaf. According to reports, Hezbollah’s membership is significantly declining following the Israeli campaign.
Israel removed Hezbollah’s top leadership.
The first blow to Hezbollah came on September 17, when a pager blast wounded thousands of its members. Israel then launched an airstrike that murdered Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah. For the gang, this was the biggest shock. Early in October, an attack also killed Saffieddin, Nasrallah’s successor. Almost all of Hezbollah’s key leaders, including Hassan Nasrallah, Fuad Shukar, Ali Karaki, Ibrahim Aqeel, Saffieddin, and Nabil Kouk, have been slain one after another.

Its fighters are on the run following the deaths of important leaders. The Elaf report claims that even when top commanders call on the evacuating fighters, they fail to report. To avoid encountering Israeli troops, a large number of rebels have escaped to Syrian territory with their families
Not being able to bring in new members
Hezbollah has started sending more fighters to southern Lebanon to oppose Israeli troops, according to sources cited by Elaf. But because the fighters are fleeing and abandoning their posts, this is getting harder. According to reports, the gang is having trouble finding fresh terrorists.
Hezbollah began fire on Israel on October 7 of last year, one day after the Hamas attack. The rockets and crossfire claimed the lives of several Israeli soldiers. Thousands of Israelis have been compelled to leave their homes in the northern region at the same time. The Israeli War Cabinet ultimately decided to begin a battle into Lebanon due to the steadily rising number of civilian losses.
