1. Hezbollah rearming with tens of millions of dollars from Iran for possible new war, sources say

   Arab News, citing Lebanese security officials who were briefed, reported that Hezbollah has spent three months preparing for a possible resumption of hostilities after receiving tens of millions of dollars from Iran to rearm, focusing on buying explosives and producing drones to attack Israeli positions. Founded in 1982 by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, the group has been badly weakened in two wars since 2024, losing thousands of fighters, several leaders and most of its arsenal. Israeli forces occupy villages in its southern heartland and Beirut faces growing pressure to disarm it, but it has used the lull in fighting since June to rearm.
