On October 5, Lebanese security forces seized hundreds of kilograms of explosives, including TNT and C-4, at a checkpoint. Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah stated the explosives belonged to Hezbollah and were intended for use against Israel, demanding their return. However, Lebanese political figures and analysts fear the materials could be used for internal assassinations, with Prime Minister Nawaf Salam noting C-4's past use in such attacks. Hezbollah warned Lebanese authorities against escalating measures, while the government vows to investigate the smuggling operations amid growing disagreements over the role of armed resistance.
