The Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said on Tuesday that the airport revealed by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant, which is being built on the Qalaat Jabour mountain in southern Lebanon, 20 km from the border, is currently being prepared by Iran to use drones to attack Israel.

According to the Hebrew newspaper, the larger plan is to create an alternative axis for smuggling weapons from Syria after the Israeli army was able to thwart smuggling operations with precise air strikes for more than a decade, within what was known as “between the wars.”

The newspaper indicates that what prompted Iran to establish the airport was its knowledge that Israel would not attack Lebanon, considering that Hezbollah is a deterrent factor, and the idea was to establish an airport in a fortified area that would help strengthen its efforts in the region to smuggle and carry out attacks, and for it to be close to the border so that drones could arrive quickly. To Israel and carry out attacks.

It is likely that this is not the only base that the Iranians established with Hezbollah in the region.
