Three people have been arrested in Spain and another in Germany on suspicion of belonging to a network that supplied the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah with parts to build suicide drones that were used in attacks in northern Israel, Spanish authorities said on July 18.

The investigation started in Spain after the Civil Guard detected "suspicious operations" of Spanish companies, which are led by Lebanese citizens. These companies had numerous materials and components for the production of drones capable of carrying explosives of several colligrams, the statement said.

Authorities believe Hezbollah may have built several hundred drones with these components.

According to investigators, the Spanish companies, like those in Europe and around the world, bought products including electronic components, rocket boosters and more than 200 electric motors and other drone parts.

Parts bought from the network, which has now been dismantled, were identified in drones used by Hezbollah to attack Israel after the war in Gaza began on October 7.

The war in Gaza began after Hamas - the Palestinian group designated a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union - attacked southern Israel on October 7.

Since the start of the war in Gaza, Israel has carried out airstrikes in Lebanon, killing more than 450 people, most of them Hezbollah fighters. Among the victims, more than 80 are believed to be civilians. On the Israeli side, as a result of Hezbollah attacks, 21 soldiers and 13 civilians were killed./ REL
