US intelligence reveals Russia's Wagner Group's intentions to supply Hezbollah with the SA-22 (Pantsir-S1) air defense missile system. The move follows heightened clashes between Hezbollah and Israel, with discussions ongoing between Wagner mercenaries and Lebanon's Hamas-supporting militia. The system, previously used in the Russian-Ukraine war, could aid Hezbollah's defense against Israeli airstrikes. While not yet delivered, concerns rise over potential deployment in the Middle East. US presence in the region intensifies, aiming to deter Hezbollah from joining Hamas in attacks on Israel's borders.
