Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate says Hezbollah is experiencing an unprecedented financial collapse after Israeli strikes destroyed large cash reserves and ongoing attacks in Iran disrupted the terror group’s primary funding pipeline.
According to Israeli intelligence assessments, the combination of Israeli operations against Iranian regime targets and the destruction of Hezbollah cash storage sites in Beirut has pushed the organization into its worst financial crisis in decades. Hezbollah, which for years relied heavily on Iranian funding and financial exploitation of Lebanese civilians, now finds its main sources of support cut off from both directions.
At the center of the financial blow is the Al-Qard al-Hasan association. Long presented as a charitable organization providing social services and operating as an alternative financial network to Lebanon’s formal banking system, the group has now been identified as Hezbollah’s key financial backbone.
Israeli intelligence officials say the association stored hundreds of millions of dollars in cash that were used to pay salaries to operatives and purchase weapons. According to the Military Intelligence Directorate, “attacks on regime targets have made Hezbollah’s ability to receive money directly from the Iranian terror regime almost impossible,” while the ability to transfer funds through money changers has also been severely disrupted.
Regional geopolitical developments have further worsened Hezbollah’s financial situation. Following the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, key land smuggling routes used to transfer funds and supplies were severely damaged. As a result, the Al-Qard al-Hasan cash reserves located in civilian neighborhoods in Beirut became the organization’s primary financial fallback.
The IDF said Hezbollah has continued making promises to Lebanese civilians about reconstruction and compensation, but in reality the funds were largely used to strengthen the group’s strategic military capabilities. Military Intelligence stated that “as a result of cutting off the funding chain from its two main sources – Iran on one side and the Lebanese civilian population on the other – Hezbollah’s economy finds itself in the most severe financial collapse in decades.”
The most significant blow came with the strategic decision to target the association’s financial infrastructure during the current war. Israeli forces destroyed cash storage facilities containing large portions of the organization’s operational budget, severely damaging Hezbollah’s ability to carry out terror activities.
Although Iran previously transferred approximately $1 billion for Hezbollah’s compensation and reconstruction program, intelligence officials say much of that money has already been consumed by ongoing military activity and is insufficient to cover the group’s rapidly expanding expenses.
According to Israeli intelligence, “the regime’s involvement in a direct war against Israel and the United States… does not allow it to continue funding and arming the proxy organization in Lebanon.”
Officials say the financial collapse of Hezbollah is also deeply affecting Lebanon itself, which has become economically dependent on the organization. Although Lebanon’s central bank attempted to impose sanctions on the Al-Qard al-Hasan network in July 2025 under international pressure, Hezbollah continued to operate it as what Israeli officials describe as a “terror bank.”
With cash reserves destroyed and Iran increasingly focused on its own survival, Hezbollah now faces growing difficulty paying its members or rebuilding its operational strength. Israeli intelligence says the destruction of the group’s financial infrastructure is weakening Hezbollah across multiple levels and undermining its long-standing claim of being Lebanon’s protector.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry has issued a warning to Israeli citizens visiting the United Arab Emirates, cautioning that photographing or sharing images of missile strike sites or sensitive locations could result in fines, arrest, or deportation.
The advisory was released after authorities in the UAE reportedly took legal action against individuals who documented locations hit during missile activity. According to reports, police in Abu Dhabi arrested 45 people who photographed and published images from sites impacted by missile launches. In Dubai, 20 additional individuals, including tourists, were prosecuted for similar offenses.
Officials in the UAE have also cracked down on people who filmed or uploaded footage of air defense systems intercepting Iranian missile attacks. Authorities said individuals from multiple nationalities were detained for recording such incidents and posting the videos online.
According to the announcement, the UAE’s attorney general ordered the arrest of ten suspects accused of recording and uploading videos showing air defense systems intercepting Iranian attacks, as well as posting fabricated footage. The suspects are expected to face fast-tracked legal proceedings.
A report by the British newspaper The Guardian said penalties for such violations can be significant. Fines may range from about 20,000 dirhams to as much as 200,000 dirhams, and prison sentences can reach up to two years. Even sharing an image from social media or commenting on such posts can be considered a criminal offense.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry urged Israelis currently in the UAE to strictly follow local laws and regulations and warned that violations could lead to serious legal consequences.

Since last night, Iran has been launching missiles toward Israel at remarkably regular intervals of roughly once every hour and a half or so, according to a timeline presented by a Channel 12 News correspondent. Each launch has targeted a different region of the country, stretching from the south to the north, in what appears to be an attempt to wear down Israel’s civilian population.
Israeli analysts say the pattern suggests that Iran is carefully rationing its weapons and may be pursuing a strategy of attrition — launching missiles in a steady drip rather than large barrages in order to exhaust the Israeli home front over time.
Users on social media noted the emerging pattern on Sunday, pointing out that air raid sirens have been sounding approximately every ninety minutes in different parts of Israel as missiles are fired from Iran.
Channel 12 correspondent Almog Boker wrote on X, “Since last night — every ninety minutes there has been fire from Iran,” and posted a detailed timeline of the launches.
At 1:15 a.m., sirens sounded in Eilat and the Arava following a missile launch. At 2:24 a.m., alerts were activated in the Sharon region, the Dan area, Shomron, the Shfela, Lachish, and the Jordan Valley.
Later, at 5:34 a.m., sirens were triggered in the Yarkon region, the Shfela, and Lachish.
At 6:14 a.m., additional alerts were sounded in Be’er Sheva and the Negev, centered around the Dimona area. Another round of sirens in Be’er Sheva and the Negev followed at 6:43 a.m.
At 8:17 a.m., missiles were launched toward northern Israel, including the Golan Heights, the northern confrontation line communities, and the Carmel region.
Later in the morning, at 11:34 a.m., sirens again sounded in Eilat. At 11:50 a.m., alerts were activated across the Shomron, the Shfela, Lachish, the Sharon region, and central Israel.
At 1:21 p.m., additional sirens were reported again in central Israel.
The pattern of launches has raised concern among Israeli security officials that Iran is attempting to sustain a prolonged campaign designed to keep large parts of the country under constant alert while conserving its missile arsenal.
