Israeli Military Uncovers Hezbollah's Hidden $500 Million Bunker
Israeli officials reveal that Hezbollah has a secret bunker under a hospital in Beirut containing over $500 million in cash and gold, originally belonging to the group's deceased leader.
The Israeli Defense Forces uncovered a bunker under the al-Sahel hospital in Beirut housing more than half a billion dollars in cash and gold, funds that were intended for Hezbollah's activities.
The bunker, linked to the late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, served as a hub for operations and financial storage, raising concerns about the group's misuse of resources intended for Lebanon's welfare.
Israeli officials called on Lebanese authorities to investigate and prevent Hezbollah from utilizing the funds to support terrorism against Israel, further exacerbating regional tensions.
The revelation sheds light on Hezbollah's clandestine financial operations and Iran's role in funding the group through various illicit channels, posing significant challenges to regional stability.
The discovery underscores the ongoing security threats posed by Iran-backed proxy groups in the Middle East and the need for coordinated efforts to counter their destabilizing activities.
