Beirut Airport was long used to smuggle Hezbollah weapons, Lebanese officials admitted
Numerous Beirut International Airport employees with ties to Hezbollah were dismissed from their positions in recent weeks, signaling Lebanon’s commitment to reigning in the terror group, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Senior Lebanese security and military officials told the outlet that along with firing dozens of employees, workers who had facilitated Hezbollah-linked smuggling at the transportation hub were arrested.
“You can feel the difference,” Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam told the outlet. “We’re doing better on smuggling for the first time in the contemporary history of Lebanon.”
