Unmasking Hezbollah - Drug trafficking and terror (1/3) | DW Documentary

In 2008, the United States launched "Project Cassandra". The aim was to uncover how Hezbollah uses drug trafficking and money laundering to finance its military and terrorist activities. The three-part series tells the story of the project.
By 2008, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration had gathered sufficient evidence to show that Hezbollah had transformed from a military and political organization into an international crime syndicate. They were making billions from drug and arms trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities. "Project Cassandra" was the ambitious, top-secret project designed to stop them.
On 4 August 2020, the city of Beirut was devastated by the explosion of hundreds of tons of ammonium nitrate stored in the port. All eyes turned to Hezbollah, a Shiite party and militia linked to Iran that controls a large part of Lebanon. Despite pressure from both citizens and the international community, Hezbollah (literally: the "party of God") refused to allow any independent investigation into the causes of the explosion.
Hezbollah emerged in 1982 as a resistance organization against the Israeli occupation. Even then, it was supported by Iran. For 40 years, its fighters have infiltrated all areas of the Lebanese state and risen to become the country’s dominant force.
In the mid-2000s, however, a handful of police officers from the American Drug Enforcement Agency (D.E.A.) attempted to bring down Hezbollah. They operated in the greatest secrecy. The code name of their operation: Cassandra. Their investigation begins in the United States, in the still-smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center.
The three-part series tells the story of "Project Cassandra," based on the testimony of DEA agents and other people involved. It also tells the story of the rise of Hezbollah and provides insights into complex geopolitical contexts.

These people will now do anything to achieve their goal even at the cost of their own lives. Although it's sickening he gives a coy smile while saying this, it is because he knows above all else fanatical belief is their greatest weapon.

God has cursed all of them and this comes from a authentic statement from our Prophet ﷺ so next time you want to be a islamophobe do some research. Maybe you will come to light to actually see the truth and see how beautiful a religion Islam is and how the West demonizes us Muslims.

    This a true documentary. If you get your call stolen in Lebanon, you go get it from Brital. You pay for it again. Their buisness is drugs and they have access to the port and airport. They don't pay border taxes. They attack Israel without any of the consent of the lebanese government. Once Israel attack Lebanese infrastructure, they just pretend it never happened. We have to repair it. In either case, for the majority of Lebanese people wants them out. They killed opposing politicians as if it is nothing. Hezbollah is a terrorist group by all means. Maybe DW should as well put a documentary about Michel Aoun and Gebran Bassil. Those piece of shits the allies of Hezbollah. Thank you DW for posting this!

    Literally every man in Iraq has done military service. No one needed Hezbollah to teach them how to use explosives, the Iraqis were more than capable of figuring that one out. Hezbollah had and has never had experience in using IEDs against US armored vehicles, let alone an Abraham tank, how could the "explosive" be "their design". I am not saying that Hezbollah has no involvement in Iraq, but that line is just bullshit and makes absolutely no sense. Also, do you really believe the same guy laying the IED is calling the drug dealer in Columbia? Nice propaganda piece though im enjoying it.

    When a leader wants the best for their religion and not for the people, they are just corrupt leaders who are only looking for power. Hezbollah leaders are obviously not sincere - they are liars who manipulate their own people and do not allow (and I literally mean this word) them to think for themselves about their actions. Hezbollah was never and will never be a good thing for any country or any people. The rates of unemployment, illiteracy, and divorces among Shiites in Lebanon are horrendous so that should say it all.

I mean, every honest person with basic knowledge of Lebanon's history will understand that Hezbollah did not infiltrate the Lebanese government; they are part of the Lebanese government, elected democratically by the Lebanese, like any other party in Lebanon.

I have no opinions about either parties of Labanese war (foreign and domestic) but this portrayal that one man is shouting religious chants and other is saying we don't fear death etc. without even mentioning western armed assault is simply propaganda tailored towards western audiences who have islamophobic biases. If one wants to study an armed group, would studying the circumstances in which said armed group was made (namely a foreign invasion) and their ideological goals (namely end of colonization) benefit you or looking at propaganda chants that they use to rally fighters. Its like looking at the speech of George W Bush before he invaded iraq to learn about american foreign policy objectives.
