Hezbollah Raises Military Alert Level on Direct Orders from Tehran
Hezbollah raised its military alert level under Tehran's orders, adopting a decentralized mosaic combat model to prepare for a potential regional escalation with Israel and the United States.
Hezbollah Raises Alert Level on Direct Orders from Tehran
Hezbollah has raised its military alert level following direct instructions from Tehran, preparing for a potential new regional conflict with Israel and the US, according to the Emirati news site Erem News, citing security and military sources in Lebanon. The organization has reportedly begun readapting a combat structure based on smaller, autonomous units designed to withstand strikes on senior command ranks.
According to the sources, Hezbollah has summoned all permanent salaried personnel and issued classified orders to report to new operational sites. While distinct from previous rounds of fighting, this preparation aims for a broader regional escalation, though sources stressed no final decision to launch a war has been made yet.
Decentralized Combat Model and "Unity of Fronts"
The directives were transmitted as part of ongoing coordination between the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Tehran-aligned proxies in the region. Erem News reported that the Quds Force recently instructed Hezbollah and allied groups in Iraq and Yemen to revive the "unity of fronts" doctrine, transforming cooperation into tighter operational commitments.
This shift reflects regional tensions and Tehran's fears of expanded military actions against its proxies. Iran seeks to reduce Hezbollah's reliance on centralized command structures, ensuring that distributed cells can continue operating even amidst widespread strikes, severed communications, or targeted assassinations.
Adoption of the Iranian Mosaic Defense Concept
A primary adjustment involves adopting the Iranian "mosaic defense" model, transferring greater authority to independent field units to prevent paralysis following leadership eliminations or severed ties with the central command. Erem News noted that the move follows severe intelligence breaches and leadership eliminations suffered by Hezbollah in recent years, ensuring proxy resilience even if Iranian command centers are targeted.
