The Israeli occupation army released videos that it said prove the existence of “missile factories” for Hezbollah in the suburb of Beirut, despite the party’s denial of manufacturing or storing weapons in the aforementioned area.
Last Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hezbollah of manufacturing and stockpiling missiles in the Jnah neighborhood in the southern suburbs of Beirut, fifty meters from a gas station and gas company, warning of a “new tragedy “if an explosion occurred.
Hundreds of tons of ammonium nitrate, which was stored in a warehouse in the port of Beirut, exploded on August 4, killing more than 190 people and injuring thousands and destroying parts of the capital.
Netanyahu has repeatedly accused Hezbollah, Israel’s arch enemy, of building missiles to attack him.
In a televised speech, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah accused the Israeli occupation prime minister of “inciting the Lebanese people” against his party.
Nasrallah said: “We do not place missiles in the port of Beirut or near a gas station, and we know very well where we should place our missiles.”
In an unusual position, Nasrallah asked in his speech, which he delivered shortly after Netanyahu’s speech, for journalists to come immediately to the scene.
“We will allow the media to enter this facility and see what is in it, so that the whole world can find out that Netanyahu is on the air,” he said.
In about an hour, dozens of journalists from local and foreign media, including the AFP team, met and went, accompanied by the party’s media relations office, to the facilities located in a popular neighborhood near residential buildings. in the Jnah area.
“This is a normal industrial facility in the region,” the party’s media relations official, Muhammad Afif, said during the tour. “We confirm once again that all the accusations made by the enemy over and over again are nothing more than false and false accusations.”
On Friday, the Israeli occupation army posted a video recording on its accounts on the “WhatsApp” and “Twitter” applications, showing the equipment filmed by journalists during the tour.
According to the video, the images show a “laser cutting machine”, a “hydraulic cutting machine” and a “metal rolling machine”, which, according to the Israeli army, are equipment that allows the production of components for high-precision missiles.
The Israeli military said the crusher could be used to make “warheads” and “stabilization wings” and other machines to make metal missile cylinders capable of hitting strategic targets in Israel.
Lebanon and Israel are officially at war.
In the summer of 2006, Lebanon witnessed a bloody war between Israel and Hezbollah that lasted 33 days, during which 1,200 people died in Lebanon, most of them civilians, and 160 Israelis, most of them soldiers.
Israel has launched dozens of airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Syria, where Hezbollah is fighting alongside the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
