Hezbollah's Air Unit, also known as Unit 127, essentially functions as the organization's air force, focusing on the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The unit operates a wide range of aircraft with diverse capabilities and varying ranges, supplied by Iran, with the aim of striking targets deep within Israel, including strategic infrastructure and security facilities.
Among its activities, the unit operates aircraft designed for intelligence gathering, suicide drones, and aircraft that launch air-to-ground missiles at targets.
The unit's fighters are trained by Iran, with some gaining significant combat experience in Syria during the civil war and in conflicts with Israel.
