IDF warns Lebanese that Iran is turning their country into a ‘missile factory’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael’s top military spokesman accuses Iran of turning Lebanon into “one big missile factory,” in a rare Arabic op-ed published Sunday on Lebanese news outlets.
In the piece, Brig. Gen. Ronen Manelis says Iran’s extensive support for Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group had turned the country into a “branch” of the Islamic Republic.
“Lebanon is becoming by deed and by the failure of the Lebanese authorities into one big missile factory,” writes Manelis.
“It is no longer the transfer of weapons, money and advice. Iran has de facto opened a new branch — ‘the Lebanon Branch.’ Iran is here,” he adds.
