Hezbollah, a Lebanese terrorist group, is facing a significant loss of its resistance profile after recent attacks by Israel that culminated in the death of its leader, according to UFRJ Sociology professor Michel Gherman. In an interview with Now CNN the expert analyzed the current situation in the Middle East and the implications for the group.
According to Gherman, Hezbollah is going through a time of unprecedented disorganization.
“The infiltration of the Israeli secret services into the ranks of Hezbollah is such that it was not just the absolutely unprecedented loss of leaders and commanders that marked the situation,” stated the professor.
Demoralization and loss of status
The expert highlighted that, in addition to material and human losses, Hezbollah is suffering a “loss of morale” and its resistance profile, which until then justified a certain amount of respect in Lebanese society, even among sectors not directly linked to the group.
Gherman highlighted the effectiveness of Israeli intelligence operations: “It is clear that the Israeli secret service has managed, in a very radical way, to infiltrate the ranks of the group, being able to carry out these attacks that, in a very definitive way, demobilized Hezbollah ”.
Uncertainty scenario
Regarding the next steps in the conflict, the professor adopted a cautious stance. “It is difficult to make any predictions about what will happen now. It seems more responsible to me to say that we don’t know what will happen”, he pondered.
Gherman also addressed the possibility of Iran’s direct involvement in the conflict. According to him, the scenario is uncertain, but there are indications that Iran may be prioritizing its own internal interests and international negotiations, such as possible advances in talks with the United States on the nuclear agreement.
The professor concluded by highlighting the delicate moment: “The situation is waiting, but it is very clear that there is demoralization on one side and a feeling of victory on the other”.
This analysis suggests a possible realignment of forces in the region, with significant implications for the balance of power in the Middle East.
