Exclusive report by Lebanese journalist Joumana Gebara
After the Telegraph's (UK) report that Hezbollah stores weapons and rockets at Beirut airport which would make it a target to Israeli strike, Lebanon's government rushed to deny it and invited ambassadors and the media to tour the airport to prove that there are no weapons stored.
At the hangar of the Cargo Center the media was denied entry. Later, only media aligned with Hezbollah, and the ambassadors were admitted into the Cargo Center. What they are looking for is in our exclusive report:
Hezbollah confiscated Terminal 16 of Beirut airport to smuggle mercenaries. weapons, rockets, and drugs.
These do not pass inside the Beirut airport. The terrorist org has its own separate airport named after assassinated arch-terrorist Imad Mughnieh at spot ❌ on the map.
Infamous for orchestrating the suicide bombing of the Marines Barracks and US Embassy of Beirut, Mughnieh, a co-founders of Hezbollah, killed thousands of Lebanese and foreigners. He was decimated in 2008.
The smuggled people and weapons arrive at Terminal 16, which ends under the bridge of Wadieh Ouzai in Lebanon, and are immediately transported underground into tunnels from the marked area ❌ near Mina al Sayadin.
They travel from a "civilian" area into the tunnels and are deposited among "civilians."
These "civilians" are all Hezbollah supporters who pledged to die for the "shoe" of terrorist Hassan Nasrallah.
This is from an Arab idiom, "die for the shoe", because they idolize Nasrallah, they are willing to die so that his shoe survives.
This whole area is a legitimate target for Israel.
