The underground infrastructure of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400 is responsible for transporting and smuggling Iranian weapons into Lebanon
On October 3rd, underground infrastructure of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is responsible for transporting and smuggling Iranian weapons into Lebanon, was attacked in northeastern Lebanon. This is a tunnel about three kilometers long, which allowed weapons to be smuggled between Syria and Lebanon. The entrance to the tunnel on the Syrian side is in a mountainous area about 15 kilometers west of Al Qusayr and El Debaa airport (southwest of the city of Homs).
The opening of the tunnel on the Lebanese side is in Marah al-Zakba, about 12 kilometers north of Hermel in the northeast of the Bekaa.
On the Syrian side and on the Lebanese side of the tunnel there are buildings that were apparently used for temporary storage of the weapons that passed through it. The Iranians and Hezbollah are concentrating great efforts to transfer weapons to Lebanon through the corridor routes, with an emphasis on the land route.
One of the main geographical anchors for arms transfers to Hezbollah in Lebanon is the area southwest of the city of Homs.
