Kuwait announces arrest of 10 Hezbollah operatives for alleged plot to attack ‘vital installations’

Kuwait has arrested 10 militants affiliated with the Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah terror group, who are accused of plotting “terrorist” actions against vital infrastructure, the interior ministry says.

This is the second Hezbollah-affiliated cell to be arrested in Kuwait this week, as the Gulf faces daily Iranian attacks during the Middle East war, which has seen Tehran-backed groups including Hezbollah join the conflict.

“The State Security Agency has successfully thwarted a plot for a terrorist operation targeting vital installations,” the interior ministry says. Promoted: Decision Points Season 6 Keep Watching

“Ten citizens, members of a terrorist group affiliated with the banned Hezbollah terrorist organization were apprehended,” it adds.

The ministry shares a video of seized items including Hezbollah flags, small drones and pictures of Iran’s slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Hezbollah’s former leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed in an Israeli attack.

On Monday, Kuwait’s interior ministry said it arrested 16 people — 14 Kuwaitis and two Lebanese nationals — affiliated with Hezbollah who had planned a “sabotage plot”.

The ministry said the group had sought to recruit individuals and that it seized a number of weapons, camera drones and morse code communication devices.

Hezbollah denied that any of its members were among the 16 arrested.

This kind of stupid moves by Iranian Palestinian proxies on Gulf states is going to be the end of any support the so-called Palestinians had.

Good.

How about they hand over their trigger-happy F-18 pilot who shot down 3 of our F-15’s?
