The recent military actions carried out by the IDF in Lebanon have created a complex and challenging reality in the country, impacting its society, politics, and security. At the center of this situation is the Shiite community, Hezbollah's main base of support, which now finds itself under pressure from both internal and external sources. In an in-depth interview with Professor Amatzia Baram, a Middle East expert, a vivid picture emerges of the multifaceted impacts of Israeli pressure and how it is destabilizing Hezbollah.
