In late September, as the anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 attacks approached and Gaza lay in ruins, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a new strategic priority: targeting Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Despite a brutal campaign that decimated the group’s leadership and displaced over 1.2 million civilians, Hezbollah remains a formidable opponent — recently even launching a drone strike that hit Netanyahu’s own home.
This article explores how Hezbollah has survived, adapted, and continues to retaliate despite overwhelming Israeli firepower.
1. Israel’s Multi-Front Offensive Against Hezbollah
Israel’s attacks have devastated Hezbollah. How is it still fighting back?
Killing Top Commanders
In late September, Israeli forces began a sustained bombing campaign. Among the high-profile Hezbollah figures killed were:
Hassan Nasrallah (Secretary-General)
Hashem Safieddine (Deputy Leader)
Nabil Qaouk, Ibrahim Aqil, and Ali Karaki (Senior Military Commanders)
These strikes targeted Hezbollah facilities in Dahiyeh, Beqaa Valley, and even central Beirut, including drone workshops and financial hubs.
The Psychological Blitz
Israel also reportedly triggered thousands of booby-trapped communications devices (pagers, walkie-talkies), killing militants and civilians alike. The intent: decapitate Hezbollah’s centralized command.
2. Hezbollah’s Resilient Structure and Strategy

Despite these catastrophic hits, Hezbollah remains operational. Why?
Autonomous Units
Hezbollah’s military strategy is rooted in decentralization. Small, highly trained units operate independently, empowered to make tactical decisions on their own. This mission-command style approach has allowed the group to maintain functionality even after its leadership was destroyed.
High Mobility and Dispersal
Hezbollah relies on tactics developed in previous conflicts, such as:
Underground tunnels and shelters
Mobile rocket platforms
Mountain bikes for low-profile transport
Fast setup/disperse times (under 30 seconds for a rocket launch)
3. Continued Retaliation Against Israel

Netanyahu’s Home Hit
A drone launched by Hezbollah struck Prime Minister Netanyahu’s holiday residence in Caesarea. Though Netanyahu wasn’t present, the attack showed the group’s ability to reach deep into Israel.
Daily Barrages Continue
Hezbollah has continued its barrage of:
Unguided rockets targeting border towns
Precision missile strikes, including one near a military factory outside Tel Aviv
Explosive drones, sometimes bypassing Israel’s Iron Dome
Dozens of Israeli soldiers have been injured, and infrastructure damaged.
4. Israeli Ground Invasion Stalls

Despite weeks of heavy assault and ground incursions, Israel has failed to capture and hold even a single village in southern Lebanon.
Israeli forces often seize areas briefly, only to retreat under sustained guerrilla fire. Hezbollah’s intimate knowledge of Lebanon’s rugged terrain—its wadis, hills, and valleys—gives it the home-field advantage.
5. Human Cost and Civilian Displacement
Israel’s Iron Dome Is Deliberately “Leaking Missiles”; What’s Wrong With IDF’s Famed Air Defense System?
Lebanese Casualties
Over 1.2 million Lebanese have been displaced
Nearly 500,000 children have been forced from their homes
Civilian casualties number in the hundreds, though exact figures vary
Israeli Casualties
Dozens dead, hundreds injured from Hezbollah rocket and drone strikes
Major property and infrastructure damage, including in Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Petah Tikva
6. Why Hezbollah Survives
Israeli foreign minister says operation in Iran not finished as Tehran tells UN its strikes are ‘self defence’ – live updates
According to defense analysts, Hezbollah doesn’t need to win—it just needs to deny Israel peace.
The group’s goal is to:
Keep Israeli citizens in a constant state of insecurity
Drain Israel’s military and political resources
Disrupt Israeli civilian life, not conquer land
This long-war strategy, refined through decades of asymmetric warfare, continues to frustrate Israeli military planners.
7. A War of Attrition
