losing 3 senior commanders is not a light blow even for a decentralised organisation

what I don't understand is why Hezbollah doesn't down every Israeli drone that enters Lebanon. most of these assassinations (and the related surveillance) are carried out using drone strikes. Hezbollah has the 358 SAM which has proven proficient in intercepting MALE drones. It should fire the 358 SAM at any and all drones that enter Lebanese airspace. Hezbollah must not have sufficient inventories for this.
No, not a light blow--but not as effective as the enemy dreams of. Nowhere close.

Anyway I don't believe it's that easy shooting these down...although doing so might not be 'worthwhile' along the lines you suggested. That said, the fact that these pieces are found and taken off the board is more significant. Clearly Hezbollah has not found a solution yet. Clearly AI driven.

Does Hezbollah have self-propelled artilley, or any artillery? Or is it all rockets and missiles ?
Artillery is a vague term. It can include rocket artillery or mortars/shells. Hezbollah has all of these. Even Hamas in Gaza has small mortar artillery.

Unfortunately, countries in the Middle East, whether Arab or Iranian, are full of Western and Israeli spies.
So anywhere the US or Israel can assassinate any government official, military official, or civilian as they wish.
Obviously, since there are spies in the heart of the military and the movements of the top brass are being tracked, I think there is little or no way for them to defend themselves.

In comparison, Western society is, contrary to the image created by media reports, very closed, and it is not easy for spies to penetrate there, as it requires strong connections and long years of loyalty to those in power in order to rise through the ranks and attain high positions.
Having worked in such a society for nearly 30 years, I am well aware that those who are close to the centers of power in western societies are extremely closed communities with a unique culture, which is not a world that ordinary people can enter.

The people of the Middle East have been deceived by the propaganda of freedom spread by the U.S., and their societies are too open to be fair game.

That's a, more or less, correct take. Iran currently is developing a network of 'khodee' (relationships, universities, business, etc) which will eventually address the gaps your mentioned.

Professor mearsheimer is hinting at Israel being in a whole lotta trouble and nearing its belated demise. The IDF can’t even fight Hamas or PIJ or PFLP. Taking on Hezb would totally unravel the Israeli military. Is it a possibility that the US sells Israel as a stressed asset to Iran?…..😝…..it’s just a loss making money hemorrhaging asset now. A serious liability for the west. Iran could buy it for pennies on the dollar, give it a low cost makeover as part of a grand bargain. Things ain’t lookin up for the Israelis that’s for sure. They know they can never win against Iran, no matter what they do:

But on the field i wonder why having old, fixed artillery pieces when they have access to sneaky mobile artillery, lures and missile artillery, they outgun the large, fixed artillery such as those you posted the image of, unless talking about modern, guided artillery shells

They would be pounded immediately by fighter jets and modern, precise artillery pieces

Hezbollah plays with mortars, rocket and missile artillery such, in a same manner like Hamas but with way more space, number and better artillery

That amphibious landing ship patrolling off the Israeli coast is a hint of where this might go toward soon. A 100k US troops, perhaps more invading Lebanon in desperation.
Umm no. The US isn't 'invading' nobody.
