MTV learned that the quantity of explosives found with two Hezbollah operatives at the Dahr al-Baydar checkpoint amounts to approximately 780 kilograms of explosive materials distributed as follows: 216 kilograms of C4 and 281 kilograms of Tetryl, a highly explosive chemical substance, while the remaining quantity consists of nails and small containers aimed at causing significant loss of life upon detonation. This means that this quantity would have caused massive damage if it had exploded.

MTV information indicates that this is the first time security forces have discovered such explosive materials. The detained individuals, H. Amhaz and A. Al-Kurdi, who belong to Hezbollah, confessed that a Honda vehicle transported the explosives to a location in the Baalbek highlands. They were contacted by a person named Sajed, who requested they transport the materials in a "caravan" to the southern suburbs to hand them over to a person named Dhulfiqar.
The investigation continues to uncover the remaining details related to this dangerous case.
