Hezbollah rebuilding military capabilities with Iranian funding

 

Reuters reports that Hezbollah has received tens of millions of dollars from Iran to replenish its arsenal, develop explosive drones, and prepare for a possible renewal of fighting with Israel.


The Hezbollah terrorist organization has been preparing for a possible new round of fighting with Israel over the past three months, using Iranian financial assistance to rebuild its military capabilities, Reuters reported, citing Lebanese security sources familiar with the group's activities.

According to the report, Hezbollah has received tens of millions of dollars from Tehran to strengthen its military infrastructure, in addition to approximately $200 million previously provided by Iran to support families displaced by the fighting in Lebanon.

The terrorist organization has been working to replenish its weapons supplies, particularly explosives, while expanding its ability to manufacture attack drones intended to target Israeli military positions.

The preparations follow significant losses suffered by Hezbollah during its confrontations with Israel since 2024, including the elimination of thousands of terrorists and senior commanders and the destruction of substantial portions of its weapons stockpiles.

Hezbollah has also been attempting to restore its military command structure following setbacks during battles with Israeli forces. Lebanese security officials told Reuters that the organization experienced serious coordination difficulties in several combat zones, including Bint Jbeil and the strategically important Ali al-Taher ridge.
