...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers..., an Israel Defense Forces soldier claimed to The Post.
"From the American taxpayer to Hezbollah, with love," said Asher Fredman, a former IDF soldier and currently executive director of the Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy, a think tank, in Jerusalem.
Asher told The Post that he found sniper rifles, anti-tank missiles and explosives alongside the care packages marked "USAID" while on patrol in an undisclosed village in Lebanon where the Iran-backed Hezbollah had a stronghold.
President Trump is in the process of dismantling USAID, which gives out humanitarian assistance to countries overseas.
He is aided by Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, who is heading up the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, which is targeting wasteful spending at federal agencies.
Last week, the 10,000 strong staff of USAID, most of whom work internationally, was drastically cut to about 300 employees. The agency spent $68 billion in 2023, according to reports.

Fredman said he could not disclose the name of the Lebanese village where the trove was found, citing security concerns, but told The Post it was set up by Hezbollah as a "forward base" to invade Israel.
"USAID is driving the radical left crazy, and there is nothing they can do about it because the way in which the money has been spent, so much of it fraudulently, is totally unexplainable," President Trump posted on his Truth Social account Friday.
"They had been there recently," he said. "They fled the village as they saw the IDF on the way."
A front man for the IDF told The Post they had no further information about the USAID packages.
"When I served in Lebanon last October, we found huge Hezbollah weapons caches, together with USAID care packages (not to mention UNICEF folders)," Fredman had said in an X post directed to @elonmusk last week.
Last week, President Trump vowed to cut US funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine Refugees after investigations found that several planners and participants in the Oct. 7, 2023 terror attack on Israel were on UNRWA’s payroll.
Israel has moved to cut ties to the agency.
