Hezbollah is rebuilding its capabilities with support from Iran


Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations announced that Hezbollah still poses a serious threat to Israel and the stability of the region, noting that the party seeks to rebuild its strength with the support of Iran.

Radio Free Europe reported in a report that Danny Danon wrote yesterday, Monday, January 13, in a letter addressed to the UN Security Council: Despite the significant decline in Hezbollah’s military capabilities during the recent war, it is now trying to rebuild its strength and armament again with the help of Iran.


Danon recalled that Israel and Hezbollah reached a 60-day ceasefire agreement on November 28, after a year of confrontations that escalated significantly in recent weeks, with the mediation of the United States.

However, the two sides exchanged accusations of violating the ceasefire agreement several times during this period.

The Israeli ambassador to the United Nations warned of Iran’s support for Hezbollah, and in his letter he indicated that several attempts to transfer weapons and money to Hezbollah took place during the post-ceasefire period, but he did not provide additional details about these attempts.

One day before, the Associated Press reported financial support provided by Iran to rebuild damaged homes in Lebanon, noting that Hezbollah had begun distributing money to residents of southern Lebanon with Iranian funding.

According to the report, Hezbollah formed 145 reconstruction teams, including more than 1,200 people, and were tasked with compensating for the damage. With Iranian financial support, the party distributed sums of money to families whose homes were damaged during the war.

Reuters also reported that US intelligence agencies recently warned of the possibility that Hezbollah would begin to restore its capabilities and rebuild its strength, describing this as a long-term threat to Washington and its regional allies.

In his message, the Israeli ambassador called on the United Nations, the Lebanese government and the international community to take measures to prevent the smuggling of weapons, ammunition and financial support across the Syrian-Lebanese border, as well as through air and sea routes.
