| Hezbollah Operates Air Defense Missiles against Zionist Warplanes: Israel |
| 2016-02-16 |
| [ALMANAR.LB] The Zionist entity asserted that Hezbollah has obtained sophisticated Russian air defense systems after managing to transmit them from Syria to Leb despite the Israeli military measures to frustrate the smuggling operations. The Lebanese newspaper, Al-Akhbar, quoted senior military sources in the Israeli army as saying that Hezbollah did operate the air defense missiles and direct the missiles towards the Zionist warplanes. According to the same sources, Hezbollah is implicitly threatening "Israel" of downing its warplanes over the Lebanese airspace. The Israeli sources noted that Hezbollah air defense technology is capable of detecting the Zionist jets, adding that the Zionist military pilots, who got accustomed to flying freely over Leb, are facing new challenges. Since Russia started its military operations in Syria, Hezbollah commenced setting and directing his radars and air defense missiles, deployed in Leb, to track the Israeli jets, the Zionist sources pointed out. |

| #2 assuming that this is not exaggeration, Hezbollah has augmented itself they really they don't need it that much - they already have 100k missiles of various types on the other hand Hezbollah has lost at least 1000 fighters in Syria (probably it is over 2000) and its prime financial patron, Iran is suffering from low oil prices so this article by their propaganda org Al Manar is probably part of their morale boosting campaign |
