Caretaker Minister of Public Works and Transportation Minister, Ali Hamiyeh, called for an “open to all” inspection tour of the Beirut international airport site tomorrow at 10 a.m., denying the presence of any weapons storage at the airport.

Hamiyeh’s fresh words came during a press conference at the airport, in response to the British “The Telegraph” newspaper article that talked about Lebanon storing weapons at Beirut airport.

“This is a ridiculous article, and I hope the newspaper will check with the British Ministry of Transportation, which had an on-ground visit to the airport on January 22, 2024,’ Hamiyeh stressed.

The minister also confirmed that the state is in the process of filing a lawsuit against the newspaper, with details to be announced soon.
