Inside Hezbollah's Europe “Tech Trail” To Fuel War On Israel; Arrests In UK, Spain, Germany | CLRCUT

European security forces have dismantled a Hezbollah-linked smuggling ring that moved drone components from Spain and other countries to Lebanon, exposing how Europe has become a key logistical hub for Hezbollah’s war effort against Israel. Arrests in Spain, Germany, France, and the UK uncovered a vast and well-organized network using front companies to procure dual-use drone parts—engines, guidance systems, and materials for wings—capable of producing hundreds of explosive drones. Authorities say the network posed a serious regional threat and was gearing up for a major sea shipment to Lebanon, reflecting Hezbollah’s tactical shift from overland to maritime smuggling routes amid rising scrutiny. Despite a fragile ceasefire since late 2024, the group's continued procurement efforts and Israel’s military foothold in southern Lebanon highlight enduring tensions beneath the surface.
