The number of Hezbollah fighters has dropped to an estimated 60,000, as the group faces mounting setbacks both on the battlefield and within its ranks, sources familiar with the matter told Al-Hadath channel.

According to the sources, Hezbollah’s stockpile of medium- and heavy-caliber weapons has been severely depleted, with much of it either seized by the Lebanese Army or destroyed by Israeli strikes.

They added that more than 80 percent of the area south of the Litani River is now under the control of the Lebanese Army.

The sources also revealed that approximately 10,000 Hezbollah fighters have been completely withdrawn from service since the start of the Gaza war, pointing to a major disruption in the group’s operational capacity. In parallel, Hezbollah has reportedly shuttered most of its training centers in the Bekaa Valley and southern Lebanon.

The group has also seen internal fractures as around 2,000 fighters are believed to have abandoned Hezbollah in the wake of the assassination of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Additionally, the most recent war has inflicted a heavy toll on the group, with sources estimating that more than 4,000 Hezbollah members have been killed, including senior military commanders, political figures, and lower-ranking fighters.
