"We are seeing indications that the terrorist Hezbollah group funded by the Islamic Republic is still committed to rearming and rebuilding its decimated infrastructure," Israeli ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon told Fox News Digital. "This is yet another attempt of Tehran to destabilize the Middle East. Israel will not hesitate to defend itself from any threat it perceives from the north."

"The $2.5 million dollar seizure is unprecedented," added David Daoud, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
