Hezbollah 's main cash source is Al-Qard al-Hasan , a Lebanese quasi-banking institution.

Other cash sources include Lebanon 's insolvent but licensed commercial banks and arrivals of cash-bearing planes at Beirut ’s airport.

Israeli military escalated its attacks on Hezbollah leaders and facilities last month , after 11 months of limiting its responses to the militia's daily attacks on northern Israel .

Iran used to organize regular flights from Tehran to Beirut to smuggle cash to Hezbollah without going through Lebanese government's customs department.

“In the weeks since Israel escalated its attacks on Beirut ’s southern suburbs, the Lebanese government has asserted more control over the airport,” Khashan says.
