Hezbollah has scaled back the presence of its fighters along Israel's borders and increased its use of drones in a strategic shift aimed at inflicting more damage on Israeli forces and assets while minimizing losses on the Lebanese side, a source within the terror group disclosed to Lebanese newspaper Ad-Diyar on Sunday. 

According to the report, Hezbollah has begun withdrawing its operatives from the front lines while maintaining surveillance and reconnaissance units. 

The source noted that the recent strategic shift has focused on launching Katyusha rockets and medium-range missiles, with an increasing reliance on drones launched from the border area, which are challenging to track due to their speed and maneuverability. 

Additionally, the source said that the organization has enhanced its intelligence capabilities, primarily through networks of agents operating inside Israel.
