According to a report by The Jerusalem Post, Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization remains active in a designated pilot zone in southern Lebanon, despite the withdrawal of Israeli forces. The report questions the Lebanese government's ability to limit the group's influence in the region.
A new report from The Jerusalem Post reveals that Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization, the group's civil-affairs arm, continues to operate in a designated pilot zone in southern Lebanon, despite the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the area. The report questions the Lebanese government's capacity to constrain Hezbollah's influence, even in zones where the military is supposed to have regained control.
The findings come amid a broader security reality in southern Lebanon. The Zioneer has extensively covered the IDF's ongoing operations against Hezbollah infrastructure in the region, including the siege of underground compounds and strikes on command centers (see June 27 and June 19 coverage). Despite significant military pressure, Hezbollah has maintained a civil presence through organizations like the Islamic Health Authority, which provides medical and social services in Hezbollah-controlled areas.
The report underscores the challenge facing Beirut and the international community: even as the IDF withdraws, Hezbollah's institutional footprint remains embedded in southern Lebanon, raising questions about the long-term stability of the ceasefire framework.
