He described this change as a serious complication for Hezbollah\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Hezbollah MP also acknowledged the loss of critical logistical routes for weapons supply, emphasizing that the group must now adapt to a different regional landscape. According to Fayyad, the organization is closely watching the new Syrian leadership\u2019s position on Israel, raising concerns that Hezbollah may not be able to count on Syria as a strategic ally in the future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Iran&rsquo;s Proxy Forces; Lebanese Hezbollah - Part 1\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_o3aLcwFUb4k\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fo3aLcwFUb4k%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o3aLcwFUb4k\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT5M13S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2024-01-07T09:10:44Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_o3aLcwFUb4k\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fo3aLcwFUb4k%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Iran\u2019s Proxy Forces; Lebanese Hezbollah - Part 1<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/o3aLcwFUb4k\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fo3aLcwFUb4k%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Iran&rsquo;s Proxy Forces; Lebanese Hezbollah - Part 1\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Read More: https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IranNCR\/ https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy Subscribe to NCRI weekly newsletter: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3SMgEla\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Discussing Hezbollah\u2019s internal structure, Fayyad claimed that the group is shifting from a leader-driven model under Hassan Nasrallah to a more institutionalized structure under Sheikh Naim Qassem.
