The time has come to put a definitive end to a reality in which Hezbollah imposes its weapons and decisions on the Lebanese state, and links part of the national decision to the Iranian project.

The seizure of a large shipment of explosives, including the highly explosive TNT and C4, at one of the Internal Security Forces checkpoints, being transported from the Bekaa to the southern suburbs, and the arrest of two people linked to this shipment, constitute a highly dangerous development that requires the utmost firmness and accountability.
أشرف ريفيالنائب اللواء11 Oct 2026 · MTV Lebanon
The battle today is the battle to consolidate the state's authority, and there will be no retreat from the judicial path until its end. What is required is not only the seizure of an explosives shipment, but ending a system accustomed to operating outside the state's authority and imposing its will on the Lebanese. This time, accountability must reach the decision-making level and not stop at the executors, and the final say must belong to the Lebanese judiciary, not to those who believe their weapons give them the right to challenge the state.

What began with the seizure of shipments and the arrest of suspects must be completed with judicial prosecutions that reveal the entire network and reach everyone whose responsibility is proven, without exception or immunity. The remaining members of this organization must realize that the era of impunity must end, and that the only way to avoid further consequences is to surrender themselves and their weapons to the Lebanese state and submit to the law.

From the Kahale truck (9 August 2023), which ended with the killing of a young man from the town... to the confrontation of the residents of the town of Chouya in the Hasbaya area (6 August 2021) to prevent the launching of rockets, up to the seizure of hundreds of kilograms of explosives at the Dahr al-Baydar checkpoint hours ago and the arrest of suspects. A new scene is being formed: militia members no longer move and transport weapons and explosives as if the state does not exist... and they are no longer allowed to do as they please and impose a fait accompli on the Lebanese.

The cowardly terrorist attack carried out by the Houthi militia on Saturday, October 10, 2026, on one of the passenger terminals at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, and the resulting deaths and injuries among civilians, both travelers and airport workers, amounts to a complete war crime under international humanitarian law and its customary rules.
