Lebanese Media: Hezbollah Given “Game-Changing” Iranian Arms, Has Tunnels on Israeli Border
by TheTower.org Staff | 02.17.17 12:06 pm
Iran has sent “game-changing” weapons to its proxy group Hezbollah, which has been actively building tunnels and fortifications along Lebanon’s border with Israel, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported Wednesday, citing Lebanese media.
Ibrahim al-Amin, chairman of the pro-Hezbollah newspaper Al-Akhbar, wrote in an editorial on January 24 that “a vast supply of advanced, state-of-the art weapons of various kinds, including weapons provided by Iran” have flown into Hezbollah’s depots since the beginning of the Syrian civil war. He also asserted that while Israel targeted convoys transporting sophisticated weapons to Hezbollah, “dozens if not hundreds of convoys managed to [get through and] bring the necessary [weapons] to the resistance bases in Lebanon.”

So, there were those stories ever so often, of Israel firing missiles into Syria; that's probably what this was about. I wouldn't fret now but a situation to watch. And the Iranians probably get those more sophisticated weapons from Russia mainly.
