Hezbollah terrorists in Yemen received $157 million worth of weapons in 2024, most of it given freely by Iran, according to a new report from the Israeli nonprofit Center for Research of Terror Financing (CENTEF).
The report, titled "Hezbollah Financial Statements," relied on open-source data as well as known valuations of Hezbollah's military assets, according to the Jerusalem Post.
The report found that Hezbollah spent just $28 million on procuring weapons, and those were limited to small arms, ammunition, drone components, dual-use equipment and equipment obtained through its international procurement networks.
Meanwhile, CENTEF said Iran provided roughly $129 million worth of weapons as an in-kind grant, including rockets, missiles, drones, ATGMs, air-defense systems, ammunition, launchers, naval equipment and IED-related assets.
The CENTEF analysis found that Hezbollah acquired 4,000 short-range Katyusha rockets, 400 Falaq-1 and 2 rockets, and 120 Burkan rockets in 2024. The short-range rockets are estimated to cost $300 per unit, while the Burkan rockets are estimated to cost $400.
The report also detailed more sophisticated weaponry obtained by Hezbollah, including Iran’s Fajr series and Syrian-origin heavy rockets. The Fajr-3 is a 240mm artillery rocket armed with a 45-kilogram warhead, while the Fajr-5 is a 333mm rocket with a GPS-guided Fajr-5C variant, according to the Post.
The rockets are estimated to cost $2,000 to $10,000, and CENTEF estimates Hezbollah obtained 600 of them in 2024.

I thought Yemen terrorists were the “Houthi’s” ???
What a pity you couldn’t be bothered just to put [Iran] at the end of the title of your thread so those of us who didn’t care about anything but knowing which country it was wouldn’t have to open your thread.
The entire article, including the pictures,
is about Hezbollah in LEBANON (not Yemen).
Fox news screwed this up.
is that the skim from the pallets of cash Obama gave to the Mullahs?
I believe so.
