Russia's Wagner Group 'plans to give Hezbollah high tech air-defenses' to deploy along the border with Israel in 'major concern' to US intelligence
- Wagner Group reportedly plans to deliver SA-22 system to the terror group
- Advanced system used missiles and anti-aircraft guns to intercept planes
- Hezbollah has been exchanging fire with Israel across the border from Lebanon
Russia's paramilitary Wagner Group plans to provide advanced anti-aircraft defense systems to Hezbollah for deployment near Israel's northern border, according to a new report.
Wagner wants to send the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group the Russian SA-22 Greyhound system, which uses surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft artillery to intercept aircraft, two US officials told the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
Hezbollah, a US-designated terror group backed by Iran, has been exchanging fire with Israeli forces across the country's northern border while Israel wages a ground and air war against Hamas in the southern enclave of Gaza.
