Israel targets Hezbollah weapons, launchers in Lebanon

"[…] Lebanon has barred Iranian airlines Mahan Air and Iran Air from flying to Beirut, according to local reports. The decision follows accusations by Israel’s military that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force has been using civilian flights to smuggle cash to Hezbollah via Beirut International Airport. Jason Brodsky, @JasonMBrodsky: “Following the IDF's disclosure yesterday that Iran's regime is using Beirut airport to funnel money to Hezbollah, Lebanese aviation authorities informed Mahar Air that its flight to Beirut would be not permitted to land.” Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee, head of the Arab Media Branch in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, said that these funds were intended to arm Hezbollah for attacks against Israel. In response, Saeed Chalondari, CEO of Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Airport, confirmed that flights to Beirut had been canceled due to lack of permission."
