The Emirati news site Aram News reports, citing political sources, that Hezbollah is conducting clandestine logistical and military preparations for a possible escalation against Israel, including stockpiling food and supplies at hidden positions along the front lines. The report says the group is awaiting the 'hour zero' set by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The Zioneer is now reporting (14:06 Jerusalem) that the Emirati news site Aram News, citing Lebanese political sources, says Hezbollah is conducting secret logistical preparations — stockpiling food and supplies at hidden positions along the front lines — while awaiting an 'hour zero' set by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). This new detail adds specificity to a series of reports from the same outlet earlier today.
At 13:46 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first published that Aram News had reported Hezbollah is preparing a military escalation plan against Israel, including intense attacks on northern communities, conditional on the level of US strikes on Iran or Washington giving Israel a green light for deeper operations. Minutes later, a second update added that the group is secretly stockpiling food and awaiting the IRGC's 'zero hour'. A third version specified that the stockpiling is taking place north of the Litani River, with Hezbollah reinforcing forward positions. All reports cite the same Lebanese political sources and remain unverified by official channels.
As The Zioneer has documented over recent weeks, Israeli security assessments indicate Hezbollah is exploiting the ceasefire lull to regroup and reposition for possible renewed hostilities (July 5, June 26). The Zioneer also reported on June 14 that the IRGC is preparing multiple response options after a plea from Hezbollah, and on July 5 that the group has lost over 3,500 operatives but is actively reinforcing southern Lebanon. The pattern of Iranian coordination and conditional escalation described in today's reports aligns with those earlier assessments.
The information is based on a single source — Aram News, citing unnamed political sources — and has not been corroborated by Israeli or Lebanese official sources. The specific timing of the 'hour zero' and the precise nature of the planned attack have not been disclosed.
