Hezbollah is storing huge quantities of Iranian weapons, missiles, and explosives in Beirut’s airport sources the UK's Telegraph reported on Sunday, quoting whistleblowers.
Hezbollah operatives transported armaments on flights from Iran after bribing customs officials, among them long, medium and short-range missiles.
Beirut airport is a commercial airport. The Lebanese government does not seem very concerned about the movement of weapons and these illegal stockpiles.
But in reality, Lebanon lost its sovereignty many years ago.
The Lebanese Minister of Labor and Transport claimed Sunday evening at an urgent press conference that the information published in the the Telegraph is incorrect, and invited the media to visit the place.
The minister said "We invite all the media and ambassadors to visit all the airport facilities tomorrow and inspect them. We are waiting for the media tomorrow at 10:30 a.m., the invitation is open to everyone." He threatened to file a lawsuit against the newspaper.
The Lebanese authorities are lying.
Hezbollah will have the entire night to evacuate its military equipment.
The U.S. issued Iran-related sanctions targeting more than 30 individuals and entities it said are part of a "shadow banking" network that has laundered billions of dollars through the global financial system, the Treasury Department said on Friday.
Three Iranian men appeared in court in London on Friday accused of assisting Iran's foreign intelligence service and plotting violence against journalists working for a British-based broadcaster critical of Tehran.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned on Friday that the Israeli army will continue striking targets in Beirut unless the Lebanese government disarms Hezbollah, escalating tensions a day after a wave of Israeli airstrikes devastated several buildings in the densely populated southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital — a stronghold of the Shiite group.
