The Iran-backed terrorist group reportedly uses Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport to store various weapons, including ballistic missiles, unguided artillery rockets and laser-guided anti-tank missiles. Whistleblowers also claim that a highly explosive and toxic white powder known as RDX is stored at the airport.

An airport employee, speaking to the Telegraph, described the arrival of these weapons in “mysterious large crates” on flights from Iran. “When they started arriving at the airport, my friends and I were scared because we knew something strange was happening,” he said, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.
