The indictment of logistics personnel by the Lebanese military court represents internal legal pressure on Hezbollah, while the leader's rejection of the US-brokered agreement represents external diplomatic resistance. Together, they illustrate the dual-front pressure (legal and diplomatic) Hezbollah is facing, which likely contributes to the hardening of its stance."
