Part 5/11:
In addition to fighting Hezbollah, recent Israeli intelligence uncovered a scheme involving Iran’s Qods Force attempting to smuggle cash into Lebanon to aid Hezbollah’s rearmament. Although thwarted, this plot underlines ongoing regional complications and Iran’s role in bolstering Hezbollah’s military capabilities.
Israel insists that its strikes are aimed at preventing Hezbollah from rebuilding its arsenal and acquiring advanced weapons, especially in areas like missile and drone technology. While there is no indication that Israel intends to launch a full-scale offensive against Hezbollah, the current exchanges are straining the ceasefire further and heightening regional insecurity.
