Most Hezbollah suicide drone operators were trained during the previous Israel-Lebanon ceasefire (Nov 2024-March 2026), reports Galei Tzahal. Most of them operate from south of the Litani River.
Assessment
This report suggests that the 2024-2026 ceasefire was exploited by Hezbollah to build a specialized drone warfare capability, rather than used for de-escalation. The fact that operators are positioned south of the Litani River indicates a direct violation of the ceasefire’s territorial terms. The key question is whether Israel’s intelligence and military posture have adapted to this new threat, or if a surprise drone attack is now more likely.
