Lebanese authorities seized a shipment of explosives intended for the Hezbollah organization on Saturday. According to reports, the cargo contained explosive materials, nails, and metal balls, designed to maximize shrapnel damage. Two individuals arrested in connection with the incident confessed to attempting to transport the equipment to a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut.
The smuggling network operated in eastern Lebanon, with a Hezbollah official known as "Sajed" reportedly handing over the explosives to two operatives in the Baalbek region. These operatives, belonging to the Amaaz and Al-Lilki clans, were apprehended with the explosives while en route to their destination. The final recipient of the shipment was identified as a Hezbollah operative known as "Dhu al-Fiqar."
Investigators revealed that the arrested individuals received clear instructions to move the materials to a specific location in the Dahiyeh neighborhood of Beirut. The route from Baalbek to Dahiyeh indicates Hezbollah's ongoing efforts to transport weapons between its operational centers within Lebanon. The investigation is ongoing.
