Iran has instructed Hezbollah forces to raise their level of military readiness in preparation for a possible upcoming confrontation, Lebanese security and military sources told the Emirati site Erem News on Thursday.
According to the sources, all full-time Hezbollah members who receive monthly salaries were summoned, although it was emphasized that these directions were only preparations for a near-term scenario and not a final decision to go to war.
One prominent change in Hezbollah's strategy, according to the sources, was adopting elements of Iran's "mosaic defense" doctrine, which decentralizes military responsibilities and reduces reliance on a central command hierarchy.
This is a developing story.
