Hezbollah terrorists in Yemen received $157 million worth of weapons in 2024, most of it given freely by Iran, according to a new report from the Israeli nonprofit Center for Research of Terror Financing (CENTEF).
The report, titled “Hezbollah Financial Statements,” relied on open-source data as well as known valuations of Hezbollah’s military assets, according to the Jerusalem Post.
The report found that Hezbollah spent just $28 million on procuring weapons, and those were limited to small arms, ammunition, drone components, dual-use equipment and equipment obtained through its international procurement networks.
Meanwhile, CENTEF said Iran provided roughly $129 million worth of weapons as an in-kind grant, including rockets, missiles, drones, ATGMs, air-defense systems, ammunition, launchers, naval equipment and IED-related assets.
The CENTEF analysis found that Hezbollah acquired 4,000 short-range Katyusha rockets, 400 Falaq-1 and 2 rockets, and 120 Burkan rockets in 2024. The short-range rockets are estimated to cost $300 per unit, while the Burkan rockets are estimated to cost $400.
