Journalists and activists who rushed to the Al-Sahel General Hospital in Lebanon’s capital Beirut on the 23rd of Oct were greeted by heavily armed Hezbollah fighters terrorists. These Hezbollah fighters terrorists blocked the door to underground bunker at the Al-Sahel Hospital, which, the Israelis alleged, held millions in cash and gold meant to finance Hezbollah’s terror activities. The Beirut hospital’s director had called upon Lebanese media and other eminent personalities to have a peek at the hospital’s bunker hoping to prove that Israelis claims were false. However, heavily armed Hezbollah’s fighters terrorists blocking access to the bunker stood testimony to Israel’s claims.
Several reporters from the LBCI (Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International) attempted were refused entry inside the bunker of Al-Sahel General Hospital. The journalists even reached out to Hezbollah’s media representative, but their requests were denied. The situation unfolds against a backdrop of escalating tensions, as Israel recently declassified intelligence suggesting the presence of a hidden Hezbollah bunker filled with millions of dollars in cash and gold beneath the hospital.
In a televised briefing shared via X, IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari alleged that the IDF had located an underground vault containing substantial cash and gold, purportedly used to fund Hezbollah’s operations against Israel. He emphasized the strategic placement of this vault beneath a residential structure, further complicating the military landscape.
IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari explained that Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah’s financial stronghold, Al-Qard Al-Hassan, on Monday. He urged Lebanese citizens to distance themselves from Hezbollah’s facilities, stating, “Our strikes will degrade Hezbollah’s ability to finance its attacks on Israelis.”
