Lebanon: courts target Hezbollah explosion suspects

The scope of judicial investigations has expanded regarding the explosion shipment linked to Hezbollah, with issuing two arrest warrants for two individuals who disappeared after being summoned for questioning. The investigation currently involves identifying new names connected to the shipment, while phones continue to be scrutinized and cross-checked with new data. Hezbollah remains resistant to handing over the suspects and demands the return of the shipment. The biggest challenge lies in Hezbollah’s steadfast refusal to appear before the judiciary, considering any detention of its members as an Israeli aggression. Meanwhile, authorities assert that the investigation is ongoing and making progress despite the absence of some individuals.
