Why Hezbollah Still Uses Above-Ground Warehouses

When Israel struck a warehouse in Beirut, the obvious question was: why store weapons above ground when you have tunnels? This episode unpacks the logistics reality behind the headlines. We explore why precision manufacturing requires controlled environments that tunnels can’t provide, how Hezbollah’s supply chain has evolved from smuggling finished missiles to a distributed component network, and the constant trade-off between speed and silence in an urban battlefield. From the engineering constraints of underground factories to the intelligence game of tracking just-in-time shipments, we break down the operational doctrine that treats civilian infrastructure as a deliberate shield.
