Lebanese security forces intercepted a truck carrying hundreds of kilograms of explosives, nails, and metal balls destined for a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut's Dahieh neighborhood. The truck was stopped at a checkpoint in the Beqaa Valley. Investigations with the two arrested drivers revealed the shipment was intended for the Hezbollah stronghold in the capital.
Hezbollah is reportedly exerting significant pressure on the Lebanese government to suppress information about the incident, which has generated considerable attention in local media. No official statement has been released by Lebanese authorities regarding the seizure.
Conversely, Lebanese political sources opposing Hezbollah are pressuring the government to broaden the investigation. They are concerned the seized shipment might be part of a larger operation and question whether other similar shipments may have already reached their destination. "This truck was stopped by chance. Who can guarantee us that Hezbollah hasn't succeeded in transferring other trucks loaded with explosives?" one source asked.
These opposing sources speculate that Hezbollah may be preparing for internal violence, potentially involving assassinations and bombings in Beirut. They believe the organization needs a substantial supply of explosives to facilitate such actions, especially in light of increasing domestic and international pressure.
The seized materials included approximately 216 kg of C4 and 281 kg of Tetryl, along with nails and smaller explosive devices intended to maximize casualties. The drivers stated the explosives were initially transported by car to the Baalbek mountainous region before being instructed to move them to Dahieh and hand them over to another individual. The suspects and the explosives have been transferred to the Lebanese military police, and the investigation is ongoing.
