(Worthy News) – Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon have discovered troves of Russian weapons that were in the possession of Hezbollah, the Islamic terror group Israel is fighting, the Wall Street Journal reported exclusively on Tuesday.
According to the WSJ, some of the weapons had been made as recently as 2020 and include Kornet anti-tank missiles that have often been used in attacks against IDF soldiers. Among other Russian-made weapons discovered by the IDF were Metis, Konkurs, Fagots, and Saggers guided anti-tank missiles that were found less than a kilometer inside southern Lebanon.
Israeli military leaders knew that Hezbollah had Russian-made weapons but the discovery of the troves revealed the greater-than-expected extent to which Russian-made arms were supplied to Hezbollah, the WSJ said.
The weapons had been brought from Russia to Syria and then into southern Lebanon in recent years, the WSJ reported, citing Syrian security officials and an Arab official. As both Russia and Hezbollah fought with Syria’s President Bashar Assad during the Syrian civil war, it is not clear how the weapons ended up with Hezbollah.
“Israel has tried to maintain positive relations with Moscow due to Russia’s military presence in Syria, Israel’s northern and bellicose neighbor,” the Times of Israel noted in a report about the Russian weapons in Hezbollah’s possession.
“On the other hand, Russia has regularly criticized Israel since October 7, including at the UN Security Council, and has hosted Hamas leaders, in a development widely seen as an extension of its increasingly friendly ties with Iran.”
