This New Iranian-Built Anti-Tank Missile Could Limit Israel's Options Against Hezbollah
2015-01-29
Whether the Dehlaviyeh has the high level of operability that PressTV boasted of two years earlier is unclear. But if today's attack does turn out to have involved a Dehlaviyeh rather than a Russian Korenet, it means that Hezbollah can supplement its most effective battlefield tactic with an even more advanced anti-tank system.

This may end up dictating Israel's options in how it will respond to Hezbollah's attack. The Dehlaviyeh potentially raises the cost of a ground incursion. Even if it wasn't used in today's attacks, Iran has been ferrying weaponry to the Assad regime and its allies during the country's civil war. And at least some of it has ended up in Hezbollah's hands.

#1  Fill a remote-controlled Merkava tank with about ten tons of C4 and shrapnel and see if they try this missile on it more than once.
