Part 8/10:
In Middle Eastern affairs, Israel has uncovered a covert Iranian effort to strengthen Hezbollah in Lebanon. Iranian Quds Force operatives allegedly smuggle millions of dollars into Lebanon via Beirut’s airport, aiming to rearm the militant group and prepare for future attacks against Israel.
Despite a fragile ceasefire negotiated in late 2022, evidence suggests Iran’s IRGC remains active in supporting Hezbollah’s military rebuilding. Israel’s military and intelligence services have shared information with U.S.-led efforts to thwart these financial transfers, which are believed to total tens of millions of dollars.
