hezbollah

Iran has been at war with Israel for at least 30 years via its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas.

So, cell phones are the best way of doing business, and Hezbollah can run its own network with impunity.

If Hezbollah has killed 1000s the militaries of the west have easily killed 100x that.

In addition Hezbollah has a fairly advanced fibre backbone and decent information security protections.

Many organizations such as the Taliban and Hezbollah fund themselves via the drug trade.

The fact that Hezbollah and Hamas are actively opposing Israel, while Egypt made peace with Israel in 79 is also a factor.

Here is a case where having ALL records is claimed to have been relevant: pinning the 2005 assassination of Lebanon's PM to Hezbollah [1].

They might not have been militants or terrorists, but keep in mind Hezbollah do not seem themselves as anything more than a political movement.

The IRA and UVF, Hezbollah etc all have something in common.

Let's start by helping Hezbollah build co working spaces in Beirut.

In fact, the only Shia terrorist organization I can think of is Hezbollah (from Lebanon).

Iran supporting Hezbollah has to do with Iran supporting terrorists.

One thing, what does the article mean when it says "Hezbollah has already stopped using public cell networks in favor of closed ones"?

>"The government has no real means of dismantling Hezbollah's communication network, which is critical to the group's defense.

You stated (in rhetorical question form) that "Iran [is] still backing numerous terrorist organizations", yet your links only refer to Hezbollah.

This "Iran has been this way" bullshit is the same nonsense I called out in a previous article about how Hezbollah is some Iranian cleric + Syrian Asad backdoor meeting became a movement BS.

Hezbollah is fascinating group of psychos, and worth studying as like the Facebook of terrorism startups.

So we are asking Iran to cut off Hezbollah, but not replace it - there are no established alternatives.

Much of Hezbollah's communication network is strategically intertwined with Lebanon's national networks.
