European law enforcement discovered a multinational Hezbollah operation spanning several countries on the continent, which saw the terror group obtain critical elements used for explosive and surveillance drones from European manufacturing sites.

Spain, Germany, France and the UK arrested 11 suspected Hezbollah operatives believed to be involved in the sophisticated operation.

According to a report in French-language newspaper Le Figaro, Spanish authorities were alerted to suspicious purchases of drone-related materials in the summer of 2024.
