Washington ∙ Russia’s mercenary group, the Wagner Group, has made a decisive intervention in the escalation of the Hamas-Israeli war in Gaza. It is reported that the Wagner Group is preparing to supply weapons to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, which has announced that it will join Hamas. This was reported by the US media.
U.S. officials are closely monitoring the negotiations and interactions between Hezbollah and the Wagner group. It is hinted that Wagner may supply weapons including modern anti-aircraft missile SA-22 to Hezbollah. The SA-22 system, known as the Pantsir-S1, consists of a truck-mounted surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft weapon. It is made in Russia.

SA-22 is also used in Russia-Ukraine war. Fighting is raging between Israeli forces and Hezbollah on the Lebanese border. It is in this background that the Wagner Group entered the scene. It is not clear whether the SA-22 system will be delivered from Lebanon to Gaza and will be in the possession of Hamas. Russia remains silent on the issue.

The Israeli army had announced yesterday that it had carried out airstrikes targeting Hizbullah centers. The attack came following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran and Hezbollah that they would face heavy retaliation if they attacked Israel. The other day, North Korea has also decided to support Palestine and provide weapons to Hamas.
