Lebanon’s Hezbollah gets $200 million from Iran to help displaced, sources say

Hezbollah has received $200 million from Iran to help Lebanese displaced ​by this year’s war with Israel, two people with direct knowledge of the transfer said, the first significant aid from the group to supporters who ‌bore the brunt of the conflict.

Israel’s bombardment and invasion of Lebanon uprooted hundreds of thousands ⁠of Hezbollah’s Shi’ite Muslim constituents after the group entered the regional war in support of Iran on March 2.

But those displaced have so far received little to no assistance ​from Hezbollah, an armed group founded by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in 1982 which has suffered heavy Israeli blows in two wars since 2024 and is designated a terrorist group by Washington.
