Media: Hezbollah, Hamas strengthen military ties in Lebanon

Hezbollah and Hamas have reportedly increased their military cooperation in Lebanon in recent months, according to an unconfirmed source cited by Israeli public broadcaster Kan.

The source said that Hamas has allocated entire units, potentially consisting of hundreds of fighters, who could be deployed to support Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit in southern Lebanon if ordered, Caliber.Az reports via Israeli media. 

The reported collaboration comes amid indications that Hezbollah’s position in Lebanon has been affected following its recent conflict with Israel. At the same time, Hamas is said to have expanded its presence in the country and increased its local rocket production.
