Hezbollah expenses: commitments and responsibility

Hezbollah's tunnels, which took many years to build and cost billions of dollars, represent a failure of the Lebanese state to fully exercise its sovereignty over its territory. Studies have shown that their explosions had seismic characteristics, reflecting the enormous size of these facilities. These tunnels are not only military in nature but also reveal the neglect of successive governments and regimes in controlling security and military decisions, leading to Lebanon becoming a battleground for underground military infrastructure, accompanied by extensive environmental destruction and damage to infrastructure, especially in the south. Instead of allocating those funds to reconstructing and developing vital sectors, this money was wasted on the war economy, which failed to prevent conflicts and resulted in catastrophic outcomes, as seen in experiences like Gaza. The responsibility does not rest solely with Hezbollah but also with the governments that accepted the existence of security institutions outside the framework of the state, leading to tragic security consequences and ongoing threats to Lebanese stability.
