A Western source told the Saudi Al Arabiya network that Hezbollah is operating a direct smuggling route for weapons into Lebanon via the sea. According to the source, the operations are being conducted by Units 190 and 700 of Iran's Quds Force.
The report further states that two Quds Force commanders are overseeing the maritime weapons smuggling. Hezbollah's control over the Port of Beirut facilitates the reception of these arms shipments.
In this context, it was also reported that senior Hezbollah official Wafiq Safa runs a network of collaborators at the Port of Beirut who assist him in the smuggling efforts.
