Unit 910 - #Hezbollah's Foreign Operations Unit.
#Unit910 is one of Hezbollah's elite & secretive units. It is headed by Talal Hamya (طلال حميّة), & is the long & strategic arm of Hezbollah & #Iran.
The purpose of this unit is to deter the West, including
🇮🇱Israel. 1

The one who headed it in the past was Imad Mourniyeh. The Unit 910 has sub-units - administrative & operational. It is confidential in relation to all #Hezbollah units. 910 has a limited number of activists, including Lebanese Shiites whose families are not from Lebanon. 2

And some have foreign passports that allow them to move freely around the world, covert by scenarios of trade or tourism. They go on missions without the knowledge of their family. What their family knows is that they are going on a trip with friends. 3

MUnit 910 is a unit of thugs who carry out #terrorist acts of various kinds around the world. Unlike religious Lebanese Shiites. These activists, shave & do not go to the mosque & form relationships with local girls in the areas where they carry out the activity. 4

The operatives of unit 910 undergo complex #military training that takes a long time until they are qualified to go into military ops. They gain experience in geography, navigation, camouflage, sabotage, cosmetics in order to be able to quickly escape from the sabotage sites. 5

In order for unit 910 to operate worldwide, it establishes relations with #Hezbollah - supporting parties that are permanently located outside Lebanon, & in this way they also take advantage of the hosts in the field of logistics & operations. 6

A large part of the collaborators of unit 910 come from Lebanese families who have left Lebanon over the years, & some are local activists who have converted to Islam or Shiites who want to help the "resistance" effort while risking themselves & those around them. 7

#Hezbollah exploits these collaborators excessively, & as a result, many times when Hezbollah failed to carry out the #terrorist act it wanted, these collaborators were prepared for it in advance & forced to flee. In cases where they were caught they ran long prison terms. 8

The operational capability of unit 910 in the field of sabotage, indicates that no attention was paid to the outcome of their operation. So over the years they have used huge amounts of explosives & then either achieved the goal or not. 9

And besides the goal they caused the murder of many innocent people.
