Lebanon's Foreign Minister condemns alleged Hezbollah operation in Kuwait

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.
