The IDF discovered large quantities of Russian weapons, including advanced anti-tank missiles, in Lebanese bunkers. It is unknown who trained the militants to use such weapons. A study of Hezbollah's weapons showed that their modernity and quantity are significantly higher than expected. The Israeli military is concerned about the scale of ties between Russia and Hezbollah.
The effectiveness of Russian Kornet anti-tank missiles against the IDF has caused delight among Lebanese militants. Despite Israeli attacks, Hezbollah remains a threat thanks to its advanced arsenal. Israel has expressed concern about Russia's potential ties to the terrorist organization. The former Israeli ambassador to Russia calls for decisive action to protect interests.
During Operation Iron Arrows, IDF reservists actively conduct reconnaissance and clearing of the area where Hezbollah hid its arsenals. The militants' ground and underground facilities, weapons stockpiles and military equipment raise serious concerns. The military continues to combat the threat and act decisively to ensure the security of the country.
