Nov 23, 2024, 02:02 PM

Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, has been using advanced Israeli anti-tank missiles, known as Spike missiles, which were captured during the 2006 war. According to the New York Times, these missiles were shipped to Iran, where they were reverse-engineered and modified, resulting in a new version called 'Al-Mas'. The modified missiles have been used by Hezbollah to strike Israeli targets, marking a significant development in the ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, 18 years after their capture.
