Hamas and Hezbollah Learn Lessons During Gaza Ceasefire. David Daoud discusses the lessons Hamas and Hezbollah are learning during the Gaza ceasefire. Hamas is adapting the Hezbollah playbook, emulating their propaganda and warfighting tactics. Hamas insists on establishing "very far-fetched" conditions before they will even discuss disarmament. Hezbollah, observing the situation, is attempting to "lay low" and rearm quietly, despite efforts by Syrians, Israelis, and the United States to interdict their weapons and financial shipments. Hezbollah calculated that remaining silent while under Israeli strikes results in fewer casualties (two to three per week) than if they retaliated (100 per week), as they await international attention to move away from Lebanon.
