Iran funneled $157M in weapons to Hazbollah in 2024, report says

Key Points:

• Hezbollah received approximately $157 million worth of weapons in 2024, with Iran providing around $129 million in arms as an in-kind grant, including rockets, missiles, drones, and other military equipment, according to a report by the Israeli nonprofit CENTEF.
• Hezbollah itself spent about $28 million on smaller arms, ammunition, drone parts, and dual-use equipment, while acquiring advanced weaponry such as Iran’s Fajr series and Syrian-origin heavy rockets.
• The group obtained thousands of rockets in 2024, including 4,000 short-range Katyusha rockets, 400 Falaq rockets, 120 Burkan rockets, and 600 higher-cost Fajr rockets, with prices ranging from $300 to $10,000 per unit.
• Anti-tank guided missiles, primarily Russian-made Kornet and Iran’s Dehlavieh, constitute a significant part of Hezbollah’s arsenal, costing between $12,000 and $26,000 per missile.
• Despite Hezbollah’s extensive arsenal, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have reportedly destroyed or neutralized about 90% of its rocket and missile capabilities, reducing Hezbollah’s current stockpile to an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 rockets.
