Hezbollah's financial networks

Hezbollah’s financial networks include diverse sources such as donations from supporters, business enterprises, and charitable foundations, primarily in Lebanon and the Middle East. They also engage in legitimate commercial activities like construction and trade. Additionally, Hezbollah has been linked to illicit activities such as money laundering, smuggling, and state-sponsored support from allies like Iran. These interconnected channels help fund their political, military, and social initiatives, making their financial system complex and adaptable to various legal and illegal sources. This blending of lawful and unlawful revenue streams enables Hezbollah to sustain its operations and influence regionally.
