husband!dusty x wife!user

The air is heavy, rich with the scent of honeysuckle and freshly turned soil. You stand on the porch, barefoot, watching your husband. The scorching Southern sun beats down on him as he labors, his shirt sticking to his skin with sweat. Even in the midst of winter, the heat remains relentless. The old pickup truck gleams dully in the heat, its hood propped open like an animal baring its teeth. He’s muttering to himself, a wrench in hand, jaw tight in concentration.

The Lebanese Shi’ite terrorist organization Hezbollah has already begun rebuilding its military capabilities and financial operations, just over a week since a ceasefire with Israel went into effect after 13 and a half months of war.

While the IDF’s aerial and ground offensives severely degraded the Iranian proxy’s terrorist infrastructure and forces, according to U.S. intelligence estimates, Hezbollah has started recruiting new fighters, boosting domestic weapons production and looking for ways to continue smuggling arms in via Syria.

Reuters cited a senior American official, an Israeli official, and two U.S. lawmakers briefed on the intelligence in its reporting published on Wednesday.

According to the terms of the Nov. 27 ceasefire agreement, Hezbollah is prohibited from rearming.

Hezbollah lost more than half of its weapons stockpiles and thousands of fighters during the war with Israel, according to American assessments. However, it has not been destroyed, with the sources saying that it still has thousands of short-range rockets and will try to rebuild using weapons factories in neighboring countries with transportation routes into Lebanon.

One of the lawmakers told Reuters that Hezbollah has been “temporarily weakened” and its command-and-control capabilities diminished. However, the lawmaker notes, “This organization is built to withstand disruption.”

Washington is particularly concerned about Syria, where Turkish-backed jihadist terrorist groups recently launched offensives in Aleppo and Hama, in a major challenge to the Assad regime and its Iranian and Russian backers. Israel continues to target Hezbollah smuggling routes in Syria and at the Syrian-Lebanon border and to disrupt Iranian weapons shipments via Syria.

A senior U.S. official revealed that Washington is urging Syrian President Bashar Assad to restrict Hezbollah’s activities, with other regional countries being enlisted to assist in this effort. Reuters reported earlier this week that the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates discussed the possibility of lifting sanctions on the Assad regime, provided, among other conditions, he halts the weapons supply routes to Hezbollah.

Hezbollah officials assert that the group will maintain its “resistance” against Israel. However, sources in Lebanon indicate that Hezbollah’s primary focus at the moment is on rebuilding and restoring homes damaged by Israeli airstrikes in Southern Lebanon and Beirut.

Hezbollah’s financial system

Meanwhile, Saudi-owned, London-based pan-Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported that Hezbollah has begun assessing repairs to its financial arm, Al-Qard al-Hassan, which was heavily damaged by Israeli attacks during the war.

The Iranian proxy plans to pay housing grants through the bank to repair the homes of families impacted by the war. Each family may receive $12,000 for rent and home repairs.

Despite, suffering severe blows in an Israeli aerial operation on Oct. 21, the bank resumed operations a week after the ceasefire.

The Saudi newspaper highlighted that “the announcement of the bank’s resumed operations contradicts Israeli claims of its destruction.” However, a source close to Hezbollah confirmed that the group had suffered significant financial losses during the war. The source further explained that the funds for rehabilitation will not come from Al-Qard al-Hassan’s resources, but from recent financial transfers from Iran to Hezbollah.

Iran transferred $1 billion via a regional intermediate on the first day of the ceasefire, which Hezbollah plans to use for its rehabilitation efforts.

Rebuilding

Lena sits alone in the restaurant with a glass of scotch pressed close to her palm, her jaw working harshly as she silently fumes. Kara had promised that she wouldn’t miss their date this evening, that celebrating 15 years of marriage would come before anything going on at work, but after sitting here alone for almost an hour, Lena has to accept that Kara has either forgotten or bailed.

She sighs, her back teeth furiously grinding as she gestures for the waiter to bring the check. It’s typical, really, and Lena wonders why she’s even surprised considering they’ve barely shared a word that hasn’t been about the kids in months.

Lena throws back the rest of her scotch and pays the check as soon as it arrives, ignoring the awkwardly apologetic smile from the waiter who has realized that Lena has been stood up. Smoothing down her dress, Lena heads towards the exit and hails the first cab that passes, her lips pursed with disapproval as she pulls her cell phone out of her purse and checks her messages.

There’s still nothing from Kara.

The apology text will come later, but it will mean very little and they’ll no doubt argue about this tomorrow; just like they always do.

It doesn’t take long to reach their apartment building and Lena offers the cab driver a generous tip before she heads inside. She doesn’t look in the mirror inside the elevator, unwilling to see the disappointment that she knows must be etched on her features—disappointment that Lena is quick to hide beneath a mask of indifference as she steps into their apartment.

She pays the babysitter and makes sure the kids didn’t give the teenager any problems before closing the door behind her and blowing out a heavy sigh. Lena remembers a time when they were happy, when she and Kara were a solid team who made time for themselves on a weekly basis; taking a break from the kids to make sure that they were on the same wavelength.

Now, though, Lena wonders if they’d even still have a conversation if it weren’t for the children sleeping across the apartment.

Kicking off her shoes, Lena pads across the apartment and quietly opens the door to their daughter’s room. The little one is sound asleep, bathed warmly in the glow of her nightlight and her blankets half hanging off the bed. Elizabeth is a puppy sleeper—as Kara once called it—and Lena smiles softly as she tucks the blankets back into place and tenderly kisses the 6 year old’s forehead.

She checks on Kieran next, the pre-teen still awake and reading a comic on his bed. He looks up when Lena slips into his room and perches on the edge of his bed, his brow instantly crinkling as she easily spots the weariness on his mother’s face.

“Did Mama miss your date?”

The again is wisely left off, but Lena still catches it. 

She reaches out to smooth his hair, her palm cupping his cheek for a brief second. He’s getting so big these days and Lena wonders how much longer she has left before shows of affection like this are shrugged off in embarrassment.

“Don’t worry about it, buddy.”
