In a commentary, Captain Ella argues that Hezbollah's money, weapons, and operational orders originate from Iran, and that the casualties returning from Lebanon are Iranian proxies. The piece questions whether anyone still believes Hezbollah is a Lebanese project.
The commentary by Captain Ella, published on reports, argues that Hezbollah is an Iranian proxy rather than a Lebanese project. The piece notes that Hezbollah's funding, weaponry, and operational directives come from Iran, and that the casualties returning from Lebanon are Iranian proxies, not Lebanese. The Zioneer has previously reported on the complexity of the Lebanon-Iran file, with Lebanese sources describing the files as 'deeply intertwined' (June 23). Analyst Ariel Kahana also warned of the implications of the emerging US-Iran deal for Lebanon's sovereignty (June 12). The commentary adds to the ongoing discourse on Hezbollah's identity as the conflict with Israel continues.
