Report: Iran Sends Hizbullah Technology To Build Precision Missiles

Iran reportedly delivered advanced GPS components to Hizbullah in Lebanon that will allow the terrorist group to transform projectiles into precision-guided missiles, thereby increasing the threat to Israel. Western intelligence services believe Tehran has shifted its strategy by increasingly shipping weaponry directly to its Lebanese proxy in Beirut, with a view to evading Israeli air strikes. The Israel Defense Forces has over the past two years conducted hundreds of attacks in Syria to prevent such arms transfers. However, its freedom of action has been reduced since Russia provided the Assad regime with the advanced S-300 defense system. That decision, in turn, came after the downing of a Russian reconnaissance plane by Syrian forces, an incident that Moscow nevertheless blames on Israel, which minutes before had conducted an aerial operation against an Iranian military installation in Latakia. During his speech last month to the United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu revealed satellite imagery of three sites in the Lebanese capital where Hizbullah, at the behest of its Iranian masters, allegedly has built underground missile manufacturing facilities. According to analysts, the weapons produced are capable of hitting within a few meters their intended target and can reach almost anywhere in Israel. Hizbullah has an arsenal of more than 100,000 rockets and missiles, many of them housed in residential areas to protect them from attack.
