Hezbollah owns some cell networks in S. Lebanon, they use these networks to both provide services to the public and for wartime communications. They apparently offer better prices and service than other corporate players in Lebanon, which has angered the government since many of these competing companies are owned by family members of the government officials. In addition Hezbollah has a fairly advanced fibre backbone and decent information security protections. There is a bunch of information on Hezbollah communication networks and COMSEC on wikileaks: >"This is a secondary communication system to be used in the event of war and to guide officials, commanders and partisans to their point of duty, which Hizbullah does not determine in advance." - https://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/91/91224_-insight-insight-lebanon-hezbollah-communication-network-.html https://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/91/91224_-insight-insight... >"The government has no real means of dismantling Hezbollah's communication network, which is critical to the group's defense. Much of Hezbollah's communication network is strategically intertwined with Lebanon's national networks. It heavily exploits the existing infrastructure of fiber-optic cables and standard telephone wires. Simultaneously, the organization maintains its own independent networks. The most important of these is it mobile phone network which was instrumental in its combat operations against Israeli forces in the summer of 2006." - https://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/91/911136_lebanon-violence-spreads-during-hezbollah-protests-.html https://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/91/911136_lebanon-violenc...
