Hezbollah Is Using Beirut Civilian Airport to Store Iran-Made Weapons For Use Against Israel
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Whistleblowers have told the UK Telegraph that the Hezbollah Islamic terror group has been using the international airport in Beirut, Lebanon for civilians to store and transfer large quantities of Iran-made weapons for use against Israel in the event of all-out war, All Israel News reports.
Following the Telegraph’s publication of the claims on Sunday, the Lebanese Transportation Minister Ali Hamieh called a press conference and denied the Beirut-Rafic Al Hariri International Airport was being used as a storage facility for weapons.
A powerful political and militant force in Lebanon on Israel’s northern border, Hezbollah is an armed proxy of Iran’s Shia Islamic regime which has called for the destruction of Israel. The claims that Hezbollah is using civilian spaces to store weapons were made by sources who work at the Beirut-Rafic Al Hariri International Airport.
One of the Telegraph’s sources said “unusually big boxes” have been coming in from Iran since November, shortly after Hamas launched the Oct. 7 massacre and triggered the current war with Israel. “This doesn’t happen often, but it did happen exactly when everyone in Lebanon was talking about the possibility of war,” the source added.
“For years I have been watching Hezbollah operating at Beirut airport, but when they do it during a war, it turns the airport into a target,” another whistleblower told the Telegraph. “This is extremely serious, mysterious large boxes arriving on direct flights from Iran are a sign that things got worse. When they started to come through the airport, my friends and I were scared because we knew that there was something strange going on.”
In a separate statement about the issue, Ghassan Hasbani, a former deputy prime minister and Member of Parliament for the Christian Lebanese Forces party, told the Telegraph: “The area all around the airport is controlled by Hezbollah, so many people are concerned about the passage through the airport of Beirut which is why many Gulf countries have at times imposed bans on their citizens traveling there.”
“Weapons being transported from Iran to Hezbollah across border entry points or even weapon components, endangers both the Lebanese population and the non-Lebanese traveling through and living in the country,” Hasbani said.
