Israel Warned the UN a Year Ago About Hezbollah Smuggling Arms Through Beirut Port
(Worthy News) -Hezbollah opposes the idea of an international inquiry into the devastating explosion in Beirut a week ago, stoking suspicion that the Iran-backed terrorist group worries an independent inquiry may draw unwelcome attention to its alleged use of the port for smuggling weapons into Lebanon.
At least 158 people were killed and more than 6,000 injured in a pair of blasts at the city’s port, the largest of which sent pressure waves that destroyed or damaged buildings for miles around, leaving some 300,000 residents without homes.
“In the years 2018 and 2019, Israel found that Iran and the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] Qods Force have begun to advance the exploitation of the civilian maritime channels, and specifically the Port of Beirut, for this same purpose,” Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon told the council on July 23 last year.
