A 500-kilogram shipment of explosives, seized by Lebanese authorities last week, belonged to the resistance group fighting against Israel, according to a Hezbollah Member of Parliament. The vehicle and its cargo were part of the resistance's arsenal against Israel, stated lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah. He called for the immediate release of those arrested in connection with the seizure.
Fadlallah emphasized that the shipment constituted Hezbollah's capabilities used against Israel. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam affirmed that the state would no longer tolerate any possession of illegal weapons. A judicial source informed AFP that the explosives were taken from a vehicle carrying 250 kilograms of TNT and 250 kilograms of C-4.
Salam pledged that authorities would identify all individuals involved in this criminal operation and those who ordered it. Lebanese citizens expressed concern over the seizure, particularly given that C-4 has been previously utilized in political assassinations in Lebanon.
