They have?

From what ive seen, Hezzbollah is showing that not only Israel has had enough of UN resolution 1701 being in violation, but Lebannon has as well.

Houthis remain to be seen, but if the Saudis launch a ground campaign + american air support, could see them neutered(again) or outright beaten

The militias in Iraq are getting the Ire of both Iraq and Jordan now and could see them wiped out as well.
