A report details how Hezbollah used a fully-funded international development project in Beirut to establish a closed wired telephone network for its senior command. The network, described as a 'Trojan horse,' was set up within the project to serve exclusively the organization's top leadership, according to the report.
The report, published by The Zioneer, details how Hezbollah exploited a fully-funded international development project in Beirut to establish a closed wired telephone network for its senior command. The network, described as a 'Trojan horse,' was set up within the project and served exclusively the organization's top leadership, bypassing Lebanon's cellular infrastructure.
The specific international organization and project name were not disclosed in the report. The development follows a pattern of Hezbollah embedding military infrastructure within civilian and international projects in Lebanon.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Hezbollah's communications capabilities, including the elimination of the commander of its communications unit in a Beirut strike in June, and the exposure of underground networks in southern Lebanon. The new report highlights the depth of the organization's efforts to maintain secure command and control channels.
