“Furiously preparing for another round”

Bilal Saab and Nicholas Blanford:

Should another war happen [between Hezbollah and Israel] we believe that it will be even larger and bloodier than the 2006 conflict. Our judgment is based on extensive field research in Lebanon covering the military preparations of both sides and analyzing their own assessments of the likelihood and nature of a future war. Over the past five years, we interviewed and spoke with dozens of Hezbollah members, including political leaders, advisors, commanders, IT specialists, and foot soldiers.

Of course, this is not a new finding, but one that is useful to contemplate in light of the grandstanding happening around the maritime border between Hezbollah and Israel.
