Officials who spoke with Israel Hayom say that any international plan to stabilize Lebanon must also include a pledge by the government of Lebanon to stop Hezbollah and Iran from pursuing their missile project. According to foreign reports, Hezbollah has 150,000 missiles, with Iran actively trying to upgrade some into GPS-guided projectiles.

The Israeli government has recently sent out a request to various countries asking that any foreign assistance granted to Lebanon in dealing with its ongoing political crisis should also address the precision-guided missiles that Iran has placed in the country, Israel Hayom has learned.
Officials who spoke with Israel Hayom said
that any plan to stabilize Lebanon must also include a pledge by the
government of Lebanon to stop the missile project pursued by Hezbollah
in Iran.
According to foreign reports, Hezbollah has
150,000 missiles and has received help from Iran in its effort to
upgrade them into GPS-guided projectiles, making their potential impact
much more devastating.
Israel has vowed to counter this threat.
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon presented the UN
Security Council with specific diagrams and figures several months ago,
accusing Iran of turning Lebanon into its missile hub.
