Hezbollah has allegedly turned Beirut Airport into a military base, according to an airport whistle-blower. Wafiq Safa, Hezbollah's second in command, is reportedly seen frequently at customs, leveraging close ties with airport managers. The British Telegraph newspaper published a report on the discovery of Hezbollah weapons depots at the airport, leading to outrage and an urgent press conference by the Lebanese Minister of Transport. A weapons cache was reportedly found at the airport. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has reportedly known for years about Hezbollah's activities at the airport. The Lebanese Minister of Public Works and Transport, Ali Hamie, has announced plans to file a lawsuit against The Telegraph for its claims.
