From an Oct 2025 testimony: Global Gangsters: Hezbollah’s Latin American Drug Trafficking Operations.<ref>"[https://www.hudson.org/drug-policy/global-gangsters-hezbollahs-latin-american-drug-trafficking-operations-marshall-billingslea Global Gangsters: Hezbollah’s Latin American Drug Trafficking Operations]." By Marshall Billingslea, ''Hudson Institute'', Oct 21, 2025</ref>
Marshall Billingslea testified before the U.S. Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control in October 2025, shedding light on Hezbollah’s drug trafficking and money laundering operations in Latin America, which fund its terrorist activities.
Key Points from Billingslea’s Testimony:
1. Hezbollah's Presence in Latin America:
* Hezbollah has been active in Latin America since the 1990s, starting with terrorist attacks in Argentina, such as the bombings of the Israeli Embassy (1992) and the AMIA Jewish Community Center (1994).
* Its "Unit 910" (External Security Organization) has expanded its infrastructure across the region, initially in Colombia and Paraguay, particularly in areas with weak governance and corruption.
2. <u>Initial Business Ventures</u>:
* Hezbollah established businesses, such as retail stores and trade-based money laundering operations in cities like Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) and Sao Paulo (Brazil), benefiting from lax enforcement on the border.
* Over time, it became involved in narcotics trafficking, starting with the smuggling of cocaine in charcoal, which was used to evade detection.
3. <u>Drug Trade Expansion</u>:
* By the mid-2000s, Hezbollah began forming alliances with Latin American drug cartels, especially in Colombia. The group trafficked cocaine through Venezuela and Syria, facilitating weapons exchanges with groups like the FARC.
* In 2015, authorities became more concerned about the scale of cocaine trafficking, particularly via Hezbollah-linked operations in Colombia.
4. <u>Financial Impact</u>:
* By 2018, it was estimated that as much as 30% of Hezbollah’s funds, around $200 million a year, came from Latin America. This revenue was crucial to the group’s operations, especially as financial support from Iran became more uncertain.
5. <u>Venezuela as a Hub</u>:
* Under the leadership of Hugo Chavez and later Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela became a critical base for Hezbollah, providing not only a safe haven but also logistical support for its operations. Hezbollah used Venezuelan passports and documents to facilitate operatives’ movements and identity concealment.
* Venezuela's regime cooperated with Hezbollah, awarding contracts to Hezbollah-controlled businesses and aiding in the distribution of false identification documents.
6. <u>Recent Developments (Oct 2025)</u>:
* Recent reports indicate that Hezbollah has increasingly relied on Venezuela as a safe haven, with 400 Hezbollah commanders reportedly ordered to relocate to Latin America, fearing targeting by Lebanese authorities.
<u>Conclusion</u>:
Billingslea stressed that Hezbollah’s expansion into the Latin American drug trade was a direct result of the group’s diminishing infrastructure in Lebanon and the increasing pressure on Iran. The Venezuelan regime has become a key player not only in facilitating Hezbollah’s drug operations but also in providing a refuge for its operatives. Moving forward, Billingslea warned that Hezbollah is likely to continue its reliance on Latin America to fund its terrorism, particularly through the drug trade.
This testimony emphasizes the growing importance of Latin America, particularly Venezuela, in Hezbollah's international operations and its funding mechanisms through drug trafficking.
Hezbollah-Venezuela (Chavez/Maduro) Connection.<ref>[https://www.jfeed.com/news-israel/hezbollah-venezuela-connection The Hezbollah-Venezuela Connection: What You Don't Know]. ''JFeed'', Jan 6, 2025.<br>
For over 20 years, Hezbollah has built a sprawling terror network on Venezuela's Margarita Island, just 1,200 miles from Florida, with training camps, drug trafficking operations, and Iranian military support under the protection of the Maduro regime.:</ref>
{{Cquote|
For over two decades, Venezuela has served as a critical outpost for Hezbollah in the Western Hemisphere, with reports detailing the group's entrenchment on Margarita Island and ties to the former regimes of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.
U.S. intelligence assessments and media investigations describe this presence as evolving from fundraising networks among the Lebanese diaspora in the 1980s to sophisticated operations involving training, smuggling, and financial schemes by the 2000s. Margarita Island, once a bustling tourist spot, has been highlighted as a primary hub, surpassing even the Tri-Border Area in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay for Hezbollah's regional activities.
Training Camps and Iranian Support.
Allegations of Hezbollah-operated training camps on Margarita Island surfaced as early as 2011, involving paramilitary instruction for recruits from Venezuela and other Latin American countries.
These facilities reportedly include political indoctrination, weapons handling, and drug-related operations, all under the protection of the Venezuelan government. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been implicated in providing [[logistics]], [[weapon]]s, and instructors on Venezuelan territory, including collaborations with local militias known as colectivos. Some recruits have been sent to Iran, including to Qom for ideological training, or to Lebanon. Reports also note that Hezbollah operatives and fighters have relocated to Venezuela following Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
Illicit Networks: Drugs, Money, and Gold.

Hezbollah's operations in Venezuela are deeply intertwined with narcoterrorism, including partnerships with the Cartel of the Suns, a network allegedly involving Venezuelan military officials, and dissident factions of Colombia's FARC. Activities include cocaine trafficking and money laundering through trade-based schemes, often utilizing duty-free zones on Margarita Island. Additionally, gold-for-arms deals have been reported, with Hezbollah and Iran exploiting Venezuela's illegal gold trade to circumvent international sanctions and finance their activities.
A key enabler of these operations has been the issuance of Venezuelan passports and identification documents. Between 2010 and 2019, more than 10,000 such documents were provided to individuals from Lebanon, Iran, and Syria, often through networks linked to the regime. Figures like former Vice President Tareck El Aissami, accused of Hezbollah connections, have been tied to this system, which provides cover for operatives using fake identities. Earlier intelligence from 2013 documented similar patterns dating back to 2008–2012.
The Nassereddine Network and Regime Ties
At the center of these activities is the Nassereddine family, a Lebanese-Venezuelan clan with deep connections. Ghazi Nassereddine, a former diplomat, and Abdallah Nassereddine, a businessman based on Margarita Island, have been accused of overseeing indoctrination, training, and smuggling operations. This network, which began under Chávez and grew under Maduro, has benefited from state protection, allowing Hezbollah to operate with relative impunity.
Strategic Implications and Proximity Concerns.
Margarita Island's location, approximately 1,200 miles from Florida, has amplified U.S. concerns, with officials labeling Venezuela not merely as a failed state but as a "staging ground" for Iranian and Hezbollah activities in the Americas. This positioning is seen as enabling potential threats through forward operations, including the use of duty-free zones and state-backed infrastructure.}}

Article: 'Who’s really starving Gaza?'
While Gaza is facing real hunger, blame lies not with Israel but with Hamas. The false narrative that Israel is "starving" Gaza, fact is, Israel allows humanitarian aid—even during war—and coordinates food, water, fuel, and medical deliveries, despite security risks. Hamas is hijacking aid, hoarding resources, and using starvation as a propaganda tool to vilify Israel. Egypt isnt innocent eithet for keeping its Rafah border closed due to Hamas’s threat. The global narrative is manipulated and the real blockade is around the truth, not Gaza.

Article: ' ‘Starvation’ in Gaza. Who's to blame?
In the Middle East, war is conducted not only with bullets and missiles, but also with pictures. The latest are pictures of allegedly starving children in Gaza distributed by Hamas and its enablers with the intention of blaming Israel for delaying, even denying entry of food trucks into the strip.
Such pictures are gobbled up and distributed to the world without question by media that are always critical of Israel and hardly critical at all of forces that seek to destroy the Jewish state.
Perhaps no nation in history has cared about preserving human life more than modern Israel. It even treats its wounded enemies in Israeli hospitals. It releases hundreds of convicted terrorists in exchange for a handful of captured Israeli soldiers. It distributes leaflets and makes phone calls urging civilians to evacuate areas inhabited by Hamas terrorists before those areas are attacked. What other nation does that?
The New York Post reports “Col. Abdullah Halabi, from the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories, told reporters last week that around 1,000 truckloads of aid remain undelivered ‘due to a lack of cooperation from the international community and international organizations.'” Predictably, others are blaming Israel, which plays into Hamas’ hands.
The problem for Israel is that it has defeated Hamas, but Hamas won’t surrender. The terrorist organization is the main impediment to getting food to those who need it, but the seeds of today’s disaster began in 2005 when Israel unilaterally disengaged from the Gaza Strip by dismantling all 21 of its remaining settlements. It didn’t take a prophet to predict the vacuum would soon be filled by terrorists eager to use Gaza as a base for attacking Israel.'

Revealing detail in hostage video exposes Hamas starvation hoax. Hamas claims hostage Evyatar David shares meager rations with captors, but a well-fed terrorist’s hand caught on camera tells a different story; survivors and family denounce the starvation as sadistic propaganda
Hamas released two disturbing videos of 24‑year‑old hostage Evyatar David, kidnapped during the October 7 massacre from the Nova music festival, who has now been held in Gaza for 666 days. The Gaza-based terror group claimed that David’s emaciated condition was due to eating from the same food and drink as his captors
But a moment captured in a new video released Saturday undercuts that claim: a captor hands David a can of food overflowing with nourishment, contrasting sharply with his visibly malnourished frame. “This can is for two days,” David says in the footage, reviewing his journal of meals—lentils, beans—or days when he received no food at all.

“The Hamas propaganda unit made a mistake. In minute 02:31 of their disgusting video, a Hamas terrorist gives Evyatar a can of food. One can see that the terrorist’s arm is thicker than both Evyatar’s legs. The only people being starved in Gaza are the hostages,” a diplomatic sourcec said.

UNRWA’s dark secret: Hamas terrorists still on payroll, including Oct. 7 kidnapper.
UNRWA staffer list includes many names of Hamas terrorists. In one example, UNRWA driver Mohammad Abi Itiwi participated in the kidnapping of Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, Israeli diplomat Amir Weissbrod said.
Weissbrod provided three examples of terrorists on the UNRWA payroll:
• Mohammad Abi Itiwi, according to the diplomat, is listed as an UNRWA driver despite the fact that he “participated in the kidnapping of young Israelis from a bomb shelter near Kibbutz Re’im” during the Hamas-led massacre on Oct. 7, 2023. Abu Itiwi was killed by the Israel Defense Forces in August 2024, yet he is “still employed [and] getting money,” Weissbrod wrote.
• Naji Abdullah Abu Aziz is “a school principal by day and a member of the chemical manufacturing unit of Hamas by night,” the diplomat continued.
“I showed information about [Aziz] a few times in my account, and this information was also given to U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Tom Fletcher,” Weissbrod said.
Israel informed the U.N. about Aziz’s terrorist activities in 2011 and again in 2024, yet he is still employed by UNRWA, the Israeli official lamented.
• Khalid Said El-Masry was also listed as an UNRWA school principal, despite Israeli security forces finding a tunnel beneath his school. Weissbrod informed the agency about El-Masry’s membership in the Hamas terrorist organization, but his employee status has not been removed, he added.
These are “just a small sample from many examples to show why any responsible government that doesn’t want that its taxpayers money get to Hamas should not fund UNRWA,” Weissbrod said.

How Hamas stages scenes of suffering.
A new investigation raises serious allegations against Anas Zayed Patia, a Gazan photographer accused of staging suffering scenes to serve Hamas propaganda.
A recent investigation by the German newspaper Bild has raised concerns about Gazan photographer Anas Zayed Patia, alleging that he was involved in staging humanitarian scenes used in pro-Hamas media narratives.
Patia, whose work has appeared in various international newspapers and news agencies, is accused of selectively curating images to highlight suffering in Gaza in a way that may distort context and serve political messaging against Israel.
One widely circulated image captured by Patia shows a group of people appearing to wait desperately for food. However, the report claims that those individuals later received aid, questioning why the full sequence of events was not documented or shared.
The investigation also notes that Patia maintains an active presence on social media, where he frequently posts content in support of the Palestinian cause. In one instance, he shared an image with the caption "Free Palestine" — a slogan commonly associated with Palestinian political movements.
Following the report, several news agencies have reportedly announced they will cease working with Patia, citing concerns over objectivity and the authenticity of the images provided. Media outlets stressed the importance of verifying visual content before publication.
Patia has not publicly responded to the allegations and has yet to address questions regarding the circumstances of the images in question. The investigation also states that Patia identifies as a journalist for Anadolu Agency, an Islamist-Erdogan's Turkish state-supported news outlet known for its pro-Palestinian stance and ties to the Hamas-affiliated narrative.
'Today it was revealed that this TIME photo from Gaza was completely staged — a total fake.
But they published it anyway.
Because when it comes to Gaza, basic journalistic standards no longer apply.'
'Photographer.. Anas Zayed Patia, stages Gaza suffering. Media blindly, irresponsibly accepts it without question. Retraction will appear 2 weeks later, fine print, hidden among other verbal mush, page 49.'

Since early in July and while negotiations for a ceasefire were being held, Hamas claimed an increasing number of deaths linked to malnutrition. Until June, Hamas had reported 66 cases since the start of the war, but just one month later, it said 133 had died because of a lack of food.
Despite the reported rise in such cases, Hamas provided no identifying information about the deceased, as it had done previously. On July 19, for example, Hamas claimed 18 people died of malnutrition and on July 22, the terror group claimed 15 more had died.
But a review of social media posts revealed only a small number of deaths that could be tied to hunger. This discrepancy casts doubt on the credibility of the Hamas claims.
An Israeli probe into the cases revealed that most of the deceased had suffered from pre-existing medical conditions that had nothing to do with food shortages. Some of them had even been treated in Israeli hospitals before the war.
The report says Hamas has falsely claimed that 4-year-old Abdullah Hani Mahmad Abu Zarka, whose photo had been circulating on social media in recent weeks, was suffering from starvation, but an investigation by COGAT revealed he was suffering from a hereditary genetic disorder as were other members of his family and had left the Strip with his mother to receive treatment in Jerusalem's Al-Makassed hospital, four months before the war.
Another example presented in the report was the death of 27-year-old Karim Khaled Aljamayal, who Hamas said died of starvation. The investigation revealed he had been suffering from a degenerative muscular disorder since early childhood and was paralyzed. His death the report claims, had nothing to do with the alleged famine in the Strip.
Israel insists that there is no famine in Gaza, quoting health experts.

=='Ali Tabataba'i - eliminated==

Elimination of Hezbollah's Chief of Staff 11.21.25.
The IDF conducted a targeted aerial strike in Beirut's Dahiya quarter, assassinating Haytham 'Ali Tabataba'i, Hezbollah's de facto chief of staff, in an operation dubbed "Black Friday." Coordinated with the US and consistent with the ceasefire, the strike targeted Tabataba'i for directing terrorist activities and rebuilding Hezbollah's capabilities. Israel assesses no retaliation from Hezbollah is likely, and officials clarified it as routine enforcement without plans for broader escalation in Lebanon. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated Tabataba'i's hands were "soaked in the blood of many Israelis and Americans," emphasizing Israel's commitment to preventing Hezbollah's rebuilding.<ref>[https://www.israelhayom.com/2025/11/23/this-is-how-hezbollahs-chief-of-staff-was-eliminated/ This is how Hezbollah's chief of staff was eliminated].<blockquote><small>
