Hezbollah bleeds in fight with Israel as Lebanon moves toward talks

Hezbollah is taking heavy casualties and losing territory in its conflict with Israel, even as domestic opposition grows at home. The group is trying to tilt the outcome through its alliance with Iran. Meanwhile, Lebanon’s government is pushing for direct talks with Israel—something Hezbollah strongly rejects—leaving the region in a tense cycle of continued exchanges of fire.
