Hezbollah boosts missile threat to Israel with domestic production of Almas anti-tank weapon

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Hezbollah has increased its use of the Almas anti-tank missile, which was reverse-engineered from Israel's Spike missile. This development poses a direct threat to Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as Hezbollah begins domestic production in Lebanon. Previously reliant on Iranian supplies, Hezbollah's ability to produce the Almas missile locally enhances its military capabilities. The missile features advanced technology comparable to the American Javelin, raising concerns among Israeli officials. This shift marks a significant change in the dynamics of the conflict, as Hezbollah's self-sufficiency in missile production could impact future engagements with Israel.
