Hezbollah Already In The U.S.

Hezbollah Is Already Here

Sam Faddis

Hezbollah has launched rocket and mortar attacks on Israel. There are unconfirmed reports of Hezbollah fighters crossing into Israel from Lebanon. The United States has warned Hezbollah to stay out of the fighting between Israel and Hamas, and Hezbollah has responded by saying it considers the United States as much of an enemy as Israel. We have sent a carrier battle group to the area in preparation for possible air strikes against Hezbollah if they intervene.

Is anyone focused on the possibility that Hezbollah may start a war with the United States right here not in the Middle East?

Hezbollah is a massive organization with huge resources. It has a longstanding presence in Latin America and has carried out numerous terrorist attacks there. The only thing separating us from Hezbollah’s Latin American networks is our now largely fictitious border.

That is to say nothing.

Hezbollah has a longstanding relationship with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. It has fighters on the ground right now in Syria, Yemen, and Iraq. Sixty-one nations worldwide have designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. It may well be the largest, most lethal group on the planet. Hezbollah’s External Security Organization (ESO), otherwise known as “Unit 910” or the alias “Islamic Jihad Organization” is active in multiple countries in Latin America. Its criminal component sometimes called the Business Affairs Component (BAC), is involved in massive money-laundering schemes throughout Central and South America.

Hezbollah has a particularly robust and long-standing relationship with the Communist regime in Venezuela. Iran and Hezbollah work with the Maduro regime building transnational organized crime, human smuggling, and financial networks throughout South America. 

These networks extend into the United States. Hezbollah and Venezuela’s Lebanese government officials provide these Hezbollah operatives with state-sponsored cover identities and access to Venezuela’s airline and banking systems, enabling them to move freely in the Western Hemisphere.

Using these fake identities Hezbollah operatives can travel all over the world building terrorist infrastructure and carrying out operations. In many documented cases operatives have been determined to have been provided birth certificates, passports, banking, and property records all under false names. Typically these documents show the operatives were born in Venezuela.

There are documented cases of Hezbollah 910 operatives working inside the United States and casing potential targets for future attacks. How many such operatives there are is unknown. We only know about the ones we catch.

Many of the individuals flooding across our southern border right now are carrying Venezuelan identity documents. Clearly, most of those are individuals who think they will be better off economically in the United States than back home in Venezuela. It does not take an expert in intelligence operations or counterterrorism, however, to recognize that the open border and the influx of Venezuelans combine to provide the perfect opportunity for the infiltration of Hezbollah operatives.
