Threats to Ignite the Street to Prevent Trial: Dahar al-Baydar Explosives Case Corner Hezbollah Leaders

High-ranking Lebanese political sources revealed to "Erem News" that Hezbollah directed indirect threat messages to the government, warning of widespread security breakdown and intense anger in the Lebanese street should the Dahar al-Baydar explosives case be referred to the Judicial Council.

The sources explained that the messages, conveyed through "Amal Movement" and allied MPs under the guise of "warning against sedition," aimed to block extensive investigations that threaten to issue arrest warrants for prominent military and organizational leaders within the party, after their involvement in managing the shipment's transfer route from Baalbek to the party stronghold in the southern suburbs was proven.

The militia transformed the Hezbollah explosives file from an internal political and judicial clash into a diplomatic confrontation with Western embassies, amid accusations of "external guardianship," which places Lebanon once again at the heart of an international conflict where influence and sovereignty calculations intersect.

This comes as five embassies from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan in Beirut recently called for restricting weapons and keeping war and peace decisions in the hands of the Lebanese state, demanding an independent judicial investigation into the Dahar al-Baydar explosives case.

Igniting the Street
A high-level Lebanese politician confirmed that Hezbollah is exerting pressure on the state by threatening to ignite the street over the Dahar al-Baydar case. At the same time, it works to discredit the judiciary and portray it as an entity taking orders from abroad for performing its constitutional duty of identifying any danger surrounding public security.

He clarified to "Erem News" that Hezbollah uses the statement of the five countries, which is essentially support for the state's work in restricting arms through authorities' procedures, to present it as imposing guardianship over the state, suggesting to its supportive environment that this constitutes treason to foreign interests targeting the resistance's weapons.

A delegation from the militia, headed by MP Hussein Al-Haj Hassan, visited the office of the Prosecutor General, Judge Ahmad Rami Al-Haj, amid questions about the extent of pressure exerted on the judiciary by Hezbollah.
