Tengrinews.kz - The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced the discovery of a bunker in Beirut, allegedly belonging to the late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, containing hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and gold, according to IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari. The bunker is said to be located beneath a hospital in the southern part of the Lebanese capital.
According to Hagari, the fortified bunker was designed for long-term occupancy. He also claimed that Tehran had been sending cash via airplanes to the Iranian embassy in Beirut, which was then transferred to Hezbollah.
"The financial structure of Hezbollah relies on two main sources: funds from the Iranian regime and money from the Lebanese people. The Iranian Quds forces transfer funds to Hezbollah from oil sold in Syria, and Iran also sends cash and gold directly via planes to their embassy in Beirut, which is then funneled to Hezbollah," said the IDF spokesperson.
Hagari emphasized that, at this point, the Israeli Air Force does not intend to attack the hospital where the bunker was reportedly found. On October 20, the IDF announced plans for upcoming attacks targeting Hezbollah’s financial assets.
Earlier in the week, Israeli airstrikes targeted the offices of the "Al-Qard Al-Hassan" company, which Israel claims is responsible for financing Hezbollah’s terrorist operations.
Meanwhile, Fadi Alameh, director of the "Sahel" hospital, denied the Israeli claims, accusing Israel of spreading false information. He called on the Lebanese army to investigate and confirm that the hospital houses only operating rooms and a morgue.
Reuters was unable to independently verify Hagari's statements, but he noted that Israeli intelligence had been collecting information about the site for several years.
