Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah revealed Wednesday that his group has been manufacturing military drones in Lebanon and has the technology to turn thousands of missiles in the party’s possession into precision-guided munitions.
“We have the capabilities to transfer missiles that we possess in the thousands into precision-guided missiles,” Nasrallah said.
He added: “We have started manufacturing drones in Lebanon a long time ago. Those who want to buy can fill out an application.”
Nasrallah said Hezbollah has been working on improving its military capabilities, revealing that last summer, Hezbollah fighters conducted the largest training exercise since the group was formed in 1982.
Nasrallah’s comments came in a televised speech during an annual ceremony marking the anniversary of the killing of some of the Iran-backed group's top political and military leaders.
“Should the enemy dare to carry out a certain operation in search of our missiles, it might face an ‘Ansariyeh 2’ operation,” Nasrallah said, referring to Israel’s 1997 botched landing on Ansariyeh’s shore in which 12 of its troops were killed.
