Israel pounded central Beirut in a series of strikes, and rockets fired from Lebanon targeted northern and central Israel. The attacks came as the U.S. continues to push for a cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Photo: Hussein Malla/AP TEL AVIV—As Israel advances its invasion of southern Lebanon, its troops are finding large troves of Russian weapons, confirming longstanding suspicions in Israel that Hezbollah is enhancing its fighting capacity with the help of sophisticated Russian arms.

Some of the weapons, which include modern Kornet antitank missiles manufactured as recently as 2020, were sent to southern Lebanon in recent years from Russian stockpiles in neighboring Syria, according to Syrian security officials and an Arab official. Russia has long provided arms to Syria’s military, as well as controlling its own warehouses in the country.

“Taliban got theirs from us.” Exactly. And the Russian arms in Hezbollah hands were likely obtained thru the black market.

Or just directly supplied by Russia.

You do realize Russia supports Hamas and Hezbollah, right?

Even to the point of inviting them to Moscow for official talks, right?

Yes. I had to wonder what the big whoop was about this. Did they expect to find M-16s? (actually, given what happened in Afghanistan...)
