Reuters reports that Iran gave Hezbollah $200 million to assist Lebanese families displaced by this year’s war with Israel. The group plans to distribute $3,000 to each family, with priority for about 50,000 families from villages that were destroyed or remain inaccessible to returnees.
In a separate earlier report published at 18:25 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Iran had transferred $200 million to Hezbollah for assistance to families connected to the group. That report said the transfer was made in cash last month and described the recipients as families tied to Hezbollah. The present Reuters account identifies the intended beneficiaries as displaced Lebanese families and gives the planned payment and priority group. The reports describe financial assistance; neither establishes how many families have received payments.
