Hezbollah demands Lebanon government lift ban on Iran planes ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

The Iran-backed group said in a statement that it “demands that the government reverse its decision to ban Iranian planes from landing at Beirut airport and take serious measures to prevent the Israeli enemy from imposing its dictates”

The first incident occurred on Thursday, when Lebanese authorities sent word to Iran that a Beirut-bound flight should not take off.

“The American side told the Lebanese side that Israel was serious about its threat,“ the source added.

The message was passed on before the flight took off, said the source.

“The security of Beirut airport takes precedence over any other consideration,“ Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said Saturday.

The decision to block the flights came after the Israeli military warned that Iran’s Quds Force and Hezbollah were using civilian flights to and from the airport to smuggle money to be used to re-arm the Lebanese group.

A fragile ceasefire has been in place in Lebanon since November 27, after more than a year of hostilities and two of months of all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah.
