The British “Telegraph” reports that the Hezbollah organization holds a large amount of advanced weapons made in Iran at Rafik Hariri International Airport in the city of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon . “An attack on the airport or just an explosion of the cargo could cause enormous damage to the airport. Beirut will be cut off from the world, without even mentioning the casualties and the enormous damage. It’s only a matter of time before a disaster happens at the airport.”
According to the report, Hezbollah set up a large system of bribing the customs and baggage officials at the airport and was thus able to transport rocket missiles and anti-tank weapons on airplanes from Iran, and even continue to possess them at the airport.
Among the weapons transferred by Tehran to its Lebanese proxy organization are “Flak” rockets, short-range “Fatah-110” missiles, as well as “M-600” mobile ballistic missiles and launchers that can be launched to a distance of almost 300 kilometers.
In addition, according to the report, Hezbollah possesses Cornet anti-tank missiles of advanced models, heavy Burkan rockets for short-range firing as well as chemical explosives. It was also claimed in the British newspaper that Lebanon fears that Hezbollah’s use of the civilian facility could lead to an Israeli attack on the place.
An employee at the airport told the British newspaper that “this is very serious, large and mysterious boxes are arriving on direct flights from Iran and things seem to be getting worse and worse. When they started moving things through the airport, my friends and I were scared because we knew something bad was happening.”
“An attack on the airport or just an explosion of the cargo could cause enormous damage to the airport. Beirut will be cut off from the world, without even mentioning the casualties and the enormous damage. It’s only a matter of time before a disaster happens at the airport,” said the employee.
