| Summary/Abstract |
This article hypothesizes about the impact that the Russian combat practice in Syria might have had on the operational art of Hezbollah. Three years of joint fighting with the Russian military has been a major formative experience for the organization. Presumably, this profound and diverse practice is likely to shape Hezbollah's subsequent military transformation, and to project on its force buildup tendencies, organizational structures and concept of operations. The article argues that Hezbollah's most profound takeaway from the Russian approach might relate to the notion of the reconnaissance-strike complex and its main segments—intelligence capabilities, command and control, and the element related to the actual use of force (Strike). Although this article aims to facilitate critical discussion about potential adaptations in Hezbollah's art of strategy and operations, its insights extend beyond the case itself, as they might be indicative of other hybrid nonstate actors in the Middle East and elsewhere.

| Summary/Abstract |
Sending ripples across the region and the world, the Russian operation in Syria has become a major international military and political event, especially amid the conflict in Ukraine and the dramatic deterioration in relations with the West. Now that the military campaign is underway and in order to assess its further progress, it is important to understand the regional context of Russia's "Syrian gambit" and the key military and political aspects.
