Hezbollah Operatives Caught With 780kg of Explosives Bound for Beirut

Lebanese security forces apprehended two Hezbollah operatives at the Dahir al-Baydar checkpoint carrying approximately 780 kilograms of explosives destined for the Dahieh district of Beirut, according to Lebanese media reports. The seized shipment included 216 kg of C4 and 281 kg of Tetryl, a potent explosive used for military purposes. The remainder of the cargo consisted of nails and smaller explosive devices intended to maximize casualties in the event of detonation. During interrogation, the detainees stated the material was initially transported via a Honda vehicle to the mountainous region of Baalbek. They then received instructions from an individual known as "Sajed" to transfer it by car to Dahieh and hand it over to another person. The suspects and the explosives were handed over to the Lebanese army's military police. The investigation is currently focused on identifying the individuals behind the shipment, its ultimate destination, and the planned use for the hundreds of kilograms of explosives. This incident occurs amid increasing pressure on the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah and prevent the organization from transporting and stockpiling weapons throughout the country.
