Division in Lebanon over Hezbollah’s confiscated explosives

On October 5, Lebanese security forces stopped a minivan at Dahr el-Baydar and found hundreds of kilograms of explosives, including TNT and C-4. Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah said the explosives belonged to the group and demanded the vehicle’s return and the release of the two people detained.
