Lebanon's Beirut airport authorities seized $2.5 million in cash destined for militant group Hezbollah concealed with a man arriving from Turkey, three sources said on Friday.
One of the sources said it was first time such a seizure had been made. There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah.
The Shiite terrorist organization is seeking by all means to bring cash into Lebanon. Through Iran and Syria, things have now become more complicated.

US Vice President JD Vance said in an exclusive interview with Reuters that Iran must make a “meaningful” reduction in its nuclear enrichment capacity to satisfy US demands and end the countries’ seven-month war, even as Washington was unsure how Tehran makes decisions in negotiations.
