During Israel's invasion of southern Lebanon, its forces discovered significant stockpiles of Russian weapons, confirming long-standing suspicions by Israel about the enhancement of 'Hezbollah's' combat capability through modern Russian armaments. Some of the weapons, including 'Kornet' anti-tank missiles, were delivered to Southern Lebanon from Russian depots in Syria.

Russia has long supplied weapons to Syrian military forces and also has its own stockpiles in the country. At the same Time, the weapons that Israel has now found are newer and more sophisticated than expected. They have significantly enhanced 'Hezbollah's' combat capabilities. Among the discoveries are Russian anti-tank missile systems 'Metis', 'Konkur', 'Fagot', and 'Malyutka'.

According to an Israeli major, about 60-70% of the weapons captured in the early days of the invasion were of Russian origin.
