Hizbullah’s Weapons Frighten Not Just the Israelis but Also the Palestinian

The Media Line Staff04/25/2024Nida Al Watan, Lebanon, April 12In a new appearance on International Quds Day, Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary- standard of Hizbullah, declared,” We have no employed our principal weapons however, nor have we used our primary forces”. Also, back in first March, MP Mohammad Raad, the mind of the Commitment to the Weight Bloc, made a speech asserting,” We have not yet used all our arms. The army is aware of this because the weapons for open war have not yet been deployed. The military army of Hispaniola is renowned for its mysterious approach to dealing with weapons. Due to the nature of their military strategies, they keep the details hidden, making Israelis who are constantly trying to find out what weapons the group has in stored feel uneasy. Nasrallah also claimed that Hizbullah’s resources, arms, and weapons are supplied by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Hizbullah’s weapons army is based in Iran, but the business has been expanding its army and acquiring new weapons in addition to those left by the Arab Army when it withdrew from Lebanon in 2005. Hizbullah likewise manufactures weapons in Lebanon and receives weapons through different means from Iran, Syria, and the Bekaa area, aside from Egyptian products. Moreover, Hizbullah is said to acquire high- quality weapons from the black market, even ones manufactured in the West. Iranian weapons have been used in various instances, including when Iran allegedly arranged for covert purchases of American missiles during the Iran-Iraq war. The pragmatism trend is evident in both the US and Iran’s diplomatic actions as well as in Hizbullah’s procurement strategies. How pragmatism frequently triumphs over ideological differences in the context of Iranian-US arms trade. Hizbullah’s approach, based on pragmatism, aims to wield its weapons not only against Israel but also as a tool in Lebanese internal politics. This breadth and versatility make Hizbullah’s arsenal a source of concern for both the Israelis and the Lebanese people. —Jean Feghali ( translated by Asaf Zilberfarb )
