Rebuild hezbollah?Deif was hunted for years. Nasrallah was not. He lived with deterrence for almost 20 years.
It wasn’t a “massive” underground compound. It was simply a deeper bunker underneath their stronghold.
Intelligence breach? Yes. But it was aided by then basically planting a flag where they were. They focused all there resources in a single neighborhood with armed guard checkpoints and areas you couldn’t take pictures.
I mean at that point it was simply tracking people via their movements and cellphones to narrow down the locations in that neighborhood. Then review historical satellite footage to see which areas were rebuilt in recent years.
At the end of the day an organization like Hezbollah couldn’t protect anyone in senior leadership while Hamas protected most of its hostages and its leader (Sinwar) for nearly a year. Sinwar was only caught because he didn’t stay hidden. Deif was killed after years of trying to assassinate him.
Nasrallah didn’t even last a week after Israel said time to meet your maker.
Hezbollah’s operational security was an embarrassment and you can thank Nasrallah and that entire leadership for that. Nasrallah didn’t want smartphones because he thought they would comprise the group, ironically an Apple IPhone is nearly impenetrable due to the company reputation at stake. Yet he went and bought pagers, not from Iran but from a random company
Now that they are gone, Iran can rebuild it to be less incompetent. Although there is no guarantee since Iran has been stuck in their own incompetence spiral for years.
It will be a miracle for IR to keep its hold on Iraq and Yemen. Last 2 lungs.
