The Cover-Up Murders
Exposed: Hezbollah's Secret Assassination Unit Murdered Four Who Knew Truth Behind the Beirut Blast
The IDF revealed that Hezbollah’s Unit 121 assassinated two customs officers and two journalists, including one thrown off a building in 2017, to cover up the terror organization’s direct connection to the storage of the ammonium nitrate that caused the 2020 Beirut Port explosion.
The IDF has publicly disclosed that Hezbollah's Unit 121, an elite assassination squad, systematically murdered two Lebanese customs officials and two journalists in an alleged campaign to cover up the terrorist organization’s role in the devastating 2020 Beirut Port explosion. The blast, caused by the ignition of thousands of tons of illegally stored ammonium nitrate, killed 218 people and wounded over 7,000.
IDF Spokesman for Arabic Media, Avichay Adraee, revealed that these individuals were targeted because they possessed evidence exposing Hezbollah's connection to the dangerous materials, which the IDF asserts were stored by the group.
Eliminating the Witnesses
The four victims were allegedly killed by Unit 121 operatives for exposing or attempting to investigate the terror group's links to the volatile cargo:
Unit 121: The Death Squad
The IDF's detailed disclosure identifies Unit 121 as the operative force behind the assassinations. This unit is known within security circles as a highly secretive squad dedicated to carrying out targeted political and military killings under the command of Hezbollah's senior echelons.
The targeting of customs officials who tried to remove the ammonium nitrate, followed by the elimination of journalists and investigators who pursued the truth, paints a picture of a systematic effort to silence dissent and bury the truth about the deadly explosion. The killings demonstrate the ruthlessness of Hezbollah in protecting its operational security and concealing its presence within key Lebanese state infrastructure like the Beirut Port.
