Lebanon Faces Risks in Explosive Transport
A Lebanese statement indicated that the presence and storage of explosives threaten Lebanon's national security. The Minister of Justice emphasized that transferring and storing large quantities of explosives pose a danger to society and international security, and that using them for security or military purposes outside the state's framework disrupts national stability. Lebanese authorities, led by Prime Minister Nohad Rock, announced the seizure of more than half a ton of explosives and blamed Hezbollah for the truck containing explosive materials that was stopped at the Zahle Beder checkpoint. They called for the release of the detainees and the return of the vehicle. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun requested an expansion of investigations to include officials within the party, while the United Nations reaffirmed its support for Lebanon and the importance of implementing Security Council Resolution 1701 amid a return to security measures and ongoing investigations.
