Down but not out: In war with Israel, Hezbollah shows it is still powerful
By Justin Salhani
Published on April 28, 2026.
Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire in November 2024, but Israel continued to attack Lebanon for the next 15 months, killing hundreds of people. Despite this, Hezbollah has returned to the battlefield, fighting Israel in southern Lebanon. Analysts suggest that Hezbollah's fortunes have changed, but its future is uncertain due to ongoing US-Israel war on Iran and the standoff in the Strait of Hormuz. The ceasefire was initially announced by US President Donald Trump but extended to three weeks. Hezbollah has stated it will not accept a one-sided ceasefire, where Israel attacks its members and infrastructure and the group does not respond. Negotiations between Lebanon and Israel are taking place, but Hezbollah has rejected these efforts.
