Has Hizbullah Changed? The 7th Hizbullah General Conference and Its Continued Ideology of Resistance

December 15, 2009 | Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Dr. Shimon Shapira
Hizbullah’s alleged move toward pragmatism is based to a large extent on an Iranian decision to create a new atmosphere in Lebanon that will allow it to work unmolested. Iran is looking for strict silence in the Lebanese arena in order to enable Hizbullah to reconstruct its strategic capabilities (including long-range rockets and missiles) in Lebanon in order to make use of these capabilities at a time to be determined by Tehran.
