Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam issued a strong statement against Hezbollah, following the seizure of a large weapons shipment that was intercepted eight days ago. A commercial vehicle stopped at a checkpoint on the road from the Bekaa Valley to Beirut contained hundreds of kilograms of C4 explosives, metal pellets, and nails. Two suspects were arrested and transferred to military police investigation. According to reports in Lebanese media, the investigation is examining the suspects' connection to Hezbollah, and the shipment's destination was the southern Dahieh suburb of Beirut. Salam made clear that the government will not take lightly anyone who tries to harm Lebanon's security and will act firmly. The affair has become a political test for the government: parliament members opposed to Hezbollah demand the full chain of command be revealed and warn of a cover-up. On the other hand, media outlets affiliated with Hezbollah reject some of the reports. The central question is whether the investigation will reach those who gave the orders, and whether the state will withstand the political pressures surrounding one of the most sensitive weapons affairs exposed in Lebanon in recent months.
