Hezbollah continues arms, drug smuggling operations near Syria-Jordan border
The terrorist Hezbollah continues its plans to wreak havoc in the region by smuggling weapons and narcotics to terrorist groups in the region. The aim is to corrupt the region’s youth by turning them into mercenaries and addicts, and by using these suspicious operations to obtain funding for them.
Arms and drug smuggling
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights revealed in a new report that Hezbollah has deployed groups specialized in smuggling operations into Jordan from the As-Suwayda Bedouins, who work in the smuggling business and have connections and experience on the roads.
The report confirmed that the S.R group. , and the ‘Absat’ group, cousins of As-Suwayda Bedouins, live near the village of al-Shaab, 10 kilometers from the Jordanian border.
He said groups of smugglers obtain weapons and narcotics from the Lebanese Hezbollah and Air Force Intelligence and have close ties with them.
Area damage
Dr. Ali Ismail, a Syrian political analyst, said that Hezbollah militias are implementing Iran’s agenda to flood the region with drug and weapons smuggling operations in order to wreak havoc in all the countries of the region with the aim of obtaining funds and harming the youth through the drugs that are distributed and spread in the countries of the region.
The Syrian political analyst added that the Hezbollah militia is exploiting the Jordanian border with Syria, since it is considered their favorite destination for smuggling drugs to Jordan and then to neighboring countries. All of these are plans aimed at serving Iran in the first place.
Drug dependence
In recent years, Hezbollah has been working to establish several underground drug factories in southern Syria, specifically in Deraa and As-Suwayda on the Jordanian border, to exploit the border area to smuggle drugs into the entire region, said Lebanese analyst Ahmed al-Ghaz.
The Lebanese analyst said that in light of the huge crises facing Hezbollah, it has become dependent on the drug industry and its attempt to smuggle drugs to Jordan and the Arab Gulf countries in order to obtain funding for one of its financial crises, in addition to the sanctions that besiege it in many countries.
Jordan’s King Abdullah II warned against the spread of Iranian militias after the Russian-Ukrainian war, stressing that Jordan is capable of protecting its borders from such attempts. He stressed the need for an international and Arab position in support of the Kingdom, in light of Iran’s attempts to target Arab security.
