Israeli security sources said in January that the Hebrew government’s recently shot down drones flying across the border from Lebanon had exposed the growing capabilities of Hezbollah’s aerial intelligence with Iranian support.

Hezbollah’s secretary general said Wednesday that Israel wants to “stop bringing in parades from Iran” and that it will not succeed. “Today, it is no secret to the Israelis (…) that we have the technical capability to turn our missiles into precision missiles,” he added.

“Today in Lebanon, for a long time, we started preparing for marches,” he added.
