Hamas and Hezbollah are rebuilding their infrastructure in coordination with Iran to revive the so-called axis of resistance, the Jerusalem Post reported on Thursday, citing Israeli security officials. According to the report, Hamas has been rebuilding its forces in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect, recruiting and training new operatives, gathering intelligence and preparing for escalation. The sources added that the militant group is working on plans to launch a surprise attack on Israeli military troops in the Palestinian territories. Meanwhile, Hezbollah is trying to restore infrastructure, recruiting new fighters, and smuggling weapons in southern Lebanon, in order to prepare for a new round of fighting with Israel, the sources claimed. Senior Israeli military commanders advocate an “aggressive” response to these violations of ceasefire agreements, but still remain cautious due to pressure from the United States, according to the report.
