The IDF found Russian-made weapons in Hezbollah stores in South Lebanon, the Wall Street Journal said on Tuesday.
Among the weapons made in Russia were anti-tank missiles sent in recent years to Lebanon via Syria that had been receiving Russian weapons for years.
Israel had not been able to confirm the flow of Russian-made weapons to the Iran-backed terror group until its forces were on the ground in South Lebanon, the journal said.
The supply of Russian weapons to Hezbollah is not a new revelation. Moscow provides arms to the Shiite militia through its allies in the region, notably the Syrian regime.
