Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that Israeli forces discovered 'most advanced' Russian weapons in Hezbollah bases located in southern Lebanon. This discovery was made during searches conducted by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) amid their ground operation. Netanyahu made this statement in an interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro. The presence of advanced Russian weaponry in Hezbollah's possession raises significant concerns, especially given the ongoing tensions in the region. According to a UN resolution, only the Lebanese army is permitted to have weapons in southern Lebanon, making Hezbollah's possession of these arms a violation.
