Israel has reported to the US-led committee overseeing the Lebanon ceasefire that Iran is smuggling cash to Hezbollah through Beirut's international airport, according to an American defense official. Israel claims that suitcases filled with US dollars are being sent to Hezbollah via the airport, and that Turkish citizens are involved in smuggling cash from Istanbul to Beirut. The Lebanese government has been informed of Israel's complaints. A Lebanese security official states that the airport is under tight military control to prevent smuggling attempts, although valuable items like gemstones and diamonds could potentially go undetected. The ceasefire deal on November 27 ended two months of war between Israel and Hezbollah.
