Lebanese Foreign Minister Joe Raggi expressed his "firm condemnation" of an alleged Hezbollah sabotage operation in Kuwait, following Kuwait's Interior Ministry announcement Monday of the arrest of 16 individuals, 14 Kuwaitis and two Lebanese nationals , accused of Hezbollah affiliation.
According to Kuwaiti authorities, the group "aimed to destabilize the country's security and recruit individuals." The arrests came with the seizure of weapons, camera-equipped drones and Morse code communication devices, a sophisticated toolkit for covert operations.
Beirut's condemnation was swift and unambiguous, a Lebanese government publicly denouncing Hezbollah's alleged activities in a Gulf state, reflecting the deepening rift between the Lebanese state and the Iranian-backed militia.
Kuwait now joins a long list of countries, from Germany to Argentina, from Bahrain to Cyprus, where Hezbollah's networks have somehow managed to get arrested.
The Israeli military published for the first time a map of its new deployment line inside Lebanon on Sunday, bringing dozens of mostly abandoned Lebanese villages under its control, days after a ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect.
The ink on the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire had barely dried when Hezbollah's leader Sheikh Naim Kassem took to the airwaves, not to welcome peace, but to claim triumph.
India said it had called in the Iranian envoy to New Delhi and flagged its "deep concern" over the attack on two Indian-flagged ships attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday.
