Hezbollah planning to occupy Beirut as pressure on Naim Qassem builds

Hezbollah is convinced that Israel is plotting to divide Lebanon, resulting in the Lebanese state losing large areas of territory. The organization has created a systematic action plan to occupy Beirut and push out pragmatic elements that support normalization with Israel. Hezbollah is under pressure due to the IDF's attacks on its infrastructure in southern Lebanon and the Iranian regime's reduced transfer of funds to Lebanon, exacerbating its economic difficulties.
