Hi-Tech Western Weapons for Hezbollah!
By Emad Abshenass
While the debate continues among the US and European countries to supply Syrian opposition with hi-tech weapons, proposals have come from those who are supposed to use these weapons against the Syrian Army to Hezbollah to buy these weapons. I heard this from many sources and yesterday Quds News Agency also confirmed this.
Many of those fighting the Syrian Army are poor mercenaries who are ready to sacrifice their family for the sake of money. If they are given, for example 10 missiles, each worth up to $200,000, and ordered to use them against tanks or planes, it wouldn’t make a difference if they fire five missiles and sell the other five! Who would count? The value is equivalent to a life-time earning. It seems that last week’s dispute between the Free Syrian Army and Al-Nusra group was related to this issue and how to divide the income from selling the weapons among fighters.
At the beginning, Lebanese Hezbollah was seeking connections and ability to buy such hardware and find worthy weapons and was ready to pay an even higher amount for such weapons. But now it is receiving so many offers which it can’t even cope with them. Now Hezbollah is able to choose from the offers and most of these weapons are being offered at less than half the market price or less than 10% of their price in the black market (since most of these sophisticated weapons are not available to Hezbollah easily in the open market). Hezbollah is even getting lists and offers for weapons which are supposed to reach Syrian rebels in the near future.
A Lebanese friend told me that previously Hezbollah was obliged to turn to the black market for weapons that could enable it to resist Israeli assaults against Lebanon and if it was able to buy them another problem was to transfer these armaments to Lebanon by dodging Israeli spies. Now it is getting offers to supply not just more high-tech weapons but also proposals to deliver the armaments inside Lebanon.
According to these friends, who are very close to Lebanese resistance, extremely high-tech western anti-aircraft, anti-tank and even anti-ship, low-, medium- and long-range weapons are included. Even tanks and military machinery are also offered, as mentioned before, for less than half price. One of the friends told me that right now some electronic war equipment, radars and communication gadgets are delivered to the Lebanese resistance which Hezbollah never dreamed of and are installed and used right now close to the occupied-Palestine borders. Some of the weapons and gadgets that could be smuggled to the occupied territories like Gaza were donated to the Palestinians either by Hezbollah or even Hamas groups working with Syrian rebels directly. The Syrian rebels are even proposing to deliver high-tech sophisticated weapons inside Gaza.
