Hizbullah Thwarts Army, Security Forces from Inspecting Arms Shipment
Hizbullah members prevented overnight the army and security forces from inspecting an arms shipment in the western Bekaa, reported MTV on Saturday.
It explained that the army and security forces in the region of Khirbet Qanafar sought to approach a truck loaded with weapons for the party, but the Hizbullah members prohibited them.
The party consequently cordoned off the area.
In similar incidents in the past year, Hizbullah had prevented the army and security forces from inspecting arms depots suspected of belonging to the party.
In November, an explosion went off in an alleged arms depot in the Hizbullah stronghold of Siddiqin in the South and party members prevented the security forces from reaching the area.
Media reports said the cause of the blast could not be determined after Hizbullah drew a tight security dragnet around the scene of the explosion.
In 2010, several blasts caused a large fire at a building in the southern town of Shehabiyeh. At the time reports said the explosions went off at a Hizbullah weapons depot.
An arms cache belonging to Hizbullah has also exploded in an abandoned house in the southern village of Khirbet Selm.
