Hezbollah Uses Private Properties as Shadow Warehouses
Recently, Hezbollah has begun relocating parts of its military arsenal from central storage facilities to private properties, commercial warehouses, farms, and buildings owned or managed by individuals affiliated with the group. This move aims to reduce the risk of its large, fixed storages being targeted, especially following Israeli attacks that hit major warehouses during the conflict. Distributing weapons and ammunition across smaller, scattered sites is seen as a way to enhance the protection of the arsenal and minimize losses. Light weapons, missiles, and equipment can be more easily distributed across multiple points, while some systems still require dedicated facilities. It is worth noting that searches of private properties are more complex than inspecting official military installations, as they require judicial approval based on credible information. This makes the distribution of weapons within homes and farms more sensitive, posing significant challenges to the Lebanese government's efforts to establish control over weapons. Military experts believe that dispersing weapons within private properties is particularly difficult to track, especially as discussions continue about verification mechanisms. This complicates security and logistical efforts to completely contain the weaponry.
