- November 6, 2023
The Israel-Hamas conflict is set to take a dangerous turn with Russia's paramilitary, Wagner Group, announcing its interest in providing high-tech air defence support to Hezbollah, according to a new report. Two US officials have confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that Wagner intends to send Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group the Russian SA-22 Greyhound system. This is a surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft artillery to intercept aircraft. WSJ quoted Pentagon spokesman, Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, that the report was 'very concerning', if true.
