Summary
Researchers report that Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization continues to operate within a pilot zone recently deployed by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). This indicates a lack of full state monopoly on force in the area and suggests Hezbollah maintains dual-use infrastructure capabilities despite military presence, complicating de-escalation efforts.

As previously reported, Hezbollah’s Islamic Health Organization was able to operate within the zone only days after the LAF deployed to the village.
