Israeli forces conducting an operation in southern Lebanon have encountered much more russian weapons in the arsenal of the terrorist group Hezbollah than previously thought,
The Wall Street Journal reported, citing military and security sources.
According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), 60-70% of the weapons found in the first days of the ground operation were russian-made. Among them are Kornet anti-tank missiles manufactured in 2020.
Although the exact origin of the weapons remains unclear, it is believed that a significant part of them comes from the arsenals of the Syrian army, which has long received weapons from russia.
To date, the conflict has claimed the lives of 44 Israeli civilians and 70 military personnel. According to AOI estimates, more than 3,000 Hezbollah fighters were killed in the fighting.
As previously reported, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz confirmed the elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who is considered one of the organizers of the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
