The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has reportedly unveiled its fresh, all-black uniform line and users on social media have highlighted the new garb’s ninja-like appearance, as well as the potential for overheating.
According to an Al Arabiya report on the new outfits, they made their debut on the Shiite militants on Tuesday in a Beirut suburb, potentially during a rally on the Muslim commemoration day of Ashura — a national holiday in Lebanon — based on Twitter hashtags and descriptions.
Photos circulating online show what appear to be Hezbollah special forces patrolling the Beirut streets dressed in head-to-toe black uniforms with red arm bands. They are equipped with what look like bulletproof vests, as well as black face masks, dark goggles, and a black helmet that flows seamlessly into the uniform. The soldiers, part of one of the world’s strongest guerrilla forces, are also sporting sleek black cargo pants and combat boots.
