Spotlight on Terrorism: Hezbollah, Lebanon and Syria (March 14 – 18, 2024)

  • Hezbollah continued attacking against Israeli military targets along the border, carrying out 29 attacks. In response, IDF forces attacked Hezbollah targets in south Lebanon.[2]
  • Given the increase of IDF attacks in Lebanon, Hezbollah issued a video threatening reprisals in kind if the IDF continues expanding its attacks in Lebanon.
  • According to a report, last month Esmail Qaani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps’ Qods Force, met with Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of Hezbollah. Nasrallah reportedly told him that Hezbollah would fight on its own against Israel, and called on Iran to remain uninvolved in direct fighting out of concern for the safety of its nuclear facilities and to avoid a confrontation with the United States.
  • Hezbollah targets northeast of Damascus were attacked in an airstrike attributed to Israel.
  • The British Telegraph reported that Iran smuggled weapons to Hezbollah using ships passing through the Suez Canal en route to ports in Europe.
