#2 Iran is funding them, but as 'always' it's never enough.

Drug-running and sales is a long-standing Leb tradition. Hesb'allah, IJ and other groups likely have routes they already use for bring arms in and moving personnel about.

Like the Mafia and the IRA, this generation of terrorists figured there's money to be made. Unlike their predecessors, the profits are getting plowed back into the business instead of people's pockets.

Besides, like JoeM wrote, it's another weapon to use against Israel.
