Poster Comment:
Netanyahu said Hezbollah has more accurate missiles. They also have the anti-ship missile the (Russian) Yakhont. They can shoot down Israeli jets and helicopters. But they also have drones. They can use them to fire missiles at Israel's Iron Dome. They can shut down Israel's electric grid by taking out their transformers and power plants. They can take out Israel's petrochemical industry in Haifa. They have Hezbollah men in Syria in Syria's National Guard so they can fire missiles from there. And they have tunnels into Israel and can fire from inside enemy territory. That is why Israel has not tried to invade Lebanon again.
Since July, their Syria-focused online campaigns have jumped significantly (see chart), morphing from infrequent mentions in late 2014/early 2015 to a full-fledged recruitment program involving a number of newer Iranian-backed groups. These Shiite fighters are now spread across Syria, primarily in the western part of the country, launching operations from the suburbs of Damascus to Idlib.
Shiite Militias On The Ground
Beginning in early July, an increase in HHN activity in Idlib was declared on media outlets associated with the group. In a briefly publicized inspection tour, Kaabi visited HHN fighters in Idlib, and the group claimed these units were aiming to eventually retake Jisr al-Shughour, a city seized by elements belonging to the al-Qaeda-linked group Jaish al-Fatah in April. The July reports helped establish HHN as a leading Iranian-backed Shiite militia operating in northern Syria, a trend that continued into September.
The inclusion of HHN forces in this vital area for Assad further demonstrates the erosion of Syrian regime forces. In addition, Russian deployments to bases in Latakia provide some evidence that Iranian-controlled proxies may be working in coordination with Russian forces.
