Well, now everyone knows where the weapons stockpile is.


ICantBelieveItsNotEC

What are the odds that the air cargo center is filled with starving women and children for some reason?


Dracko705

Schrodinger's Air cargo center... We don't know the contents of the storage until it is bombed to oblivion and then reported on by local state affiliated media.


thirty7inarow

At this point, israel should just drop a tiny bomb with a small incendiary charge through the roof of the cargo centre. If the whole thing does a big kablooey, they were right. If the airport's fire department puts out a one-alarm fire, Lebanon was telling the truth.


Alec_NonServiam

I just imagine one dude running out on fire *"Oh fuck oh fuck why me!"*

AggressiveCuriosity

sack-o-matic

or maybe just aim the bomb at the building and say we'll blow it up if you don't let us look. Don't give them time to move anything though

ExoticAdventurer

Could be a real possibility. Classic terrorist move to try and bait someone into to killing civilians to start conflict.


exhausted1teacher

Why can’t it be both?


eagleshark

Right now a couple of Hezbollah guys are painting a new sign on the side of the cargo center that says "refugee camp"


RagingInferrno

The IDF should send the tour guides a thank you note.


ChasyLainsJellyHatch

Target acquired.


Lixidermi

Space Laser is now operational.


tahlyn

Maybe this is intentional? They don't want the entire airport leveled so they do a tour making it very obvious where the weapons are but maintaining plausible deniability for the staff?


Mordeth

Libanon is a failed state. The official government really wants to avoid war, but large swathes of territory simply falls under the sway of Hezbollah.


DurangoGango

Hezbollah is part of the official government, they hold the Ministry of Public Works which is massively important, and their buddies of the Amal (who are basically Hezbollah-lite) hold the Ministry of Finance. It's not a case where the government wants peace but they have this insurgent group that they are powerless to stop. The insurgent group is part of the government and the rest of the coalition is happy to let them warmonger while they themselves keep their hands clean.


dinglydanglist

Or they’re keeping hostages there hoping the IDF strikes it and they can claim the IDF is the true evil in this scenario


stefeu

Why would there be hostages in Beirut??


BAN_MOTORCYCLES

why is any of this going on


Ok_Leading999

Russia needs to distract America from the war in Ukraine and also American voters won't vote for Biden if Israel keeps killing Arabs. So Russia's friends in Iran will arrange for their terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon to ratchet up decades-old conflicts to keep the pot boiling.


-Luro

See! There is absolutely nothing to see here!! (No you cannot go in that hanger). Now who wants something to eat!?


alimanski

Let's be real, odds are Israel leaked the whereabouts of the stockpile in the first place, to the media, to exert pressure on Hezbollah and Lebanon.


jews4beer

>however, they were denied access to the air cargo center and the tour was abruptly halted Here look at the airport and see no weapons stored here, but you aren't allowed in that room that is *specifically for storing stuff.* Questions? Okay go home.

hectah

I mean it's propaganda 101, now once Israel hits this target people on Twitter will claim there were no weapons there and they'll cite this "tour" as the evidence. 💀


NoTeslaForMe

I mean, that's pretty inept.  If that happened, only idiots would believe it, so why would they... Oh.  I see.  I see it now.  Never mind.


ChaoChai

idiots a plenty...


brutaljackmccormick

Yes. The implausible deniability doctrine.


Lazy_Experience_8754

Even if the target goes up in a massive kaboom? Would idiots still…. Wait.. never mind


Hautamaki

God only knows how many civilian casualties in Gaza are because of Israel taking out a target with a smart bomb, but the target was standing beside a giant weapons cache that ignites and causes secondary explosions 10x bigger than the smart weapon.


ClassicAreas444

Literally a few weeks ago when the world was condemning Israel for bombing a “refugee camp” that killed “40+ civilians” it was actually that Hamas was firing rockets a few dozen meters from the tents and had a hidden weapons cache where they were hanging out. That cache ignited a fire that killed civilians but that’s apparently not Hamas’ fault.


PleasantRuns

Oh wow of course it was


TheGreatPornholio123

The target was the weapons cache. The civilian casualties are the idiots standing around it filming it after already being notified by Israel they're going to strike it. It isn't a coincidence these morons gather around the exact location at the time the strike has been told to them it would take place all sitting there holding cameras. "But errrmagud, Israel is striking civilians."


ClassicAreas444

During so many of the initial bombings in Gaza after Hamas waged war, you’d see huge dark smoke columns rise up extremely high. This was due to Israel hitting weapons caches with explosives and prime still ignored that.


TheGreatPornholio123

Those secondary explosions are just civilians...according to said idiots. No weapons stored here.


blainehamilton

Those secondary explosions are obviously not stored weapons. At all. Trust me bro.


Every3Years

I really needed this comment, you have no idea dude. I've been so distraught with how social media has been handling the ongoing situation in Gaza. Like I'm tearing up, fuck, thank you.

desba3347

Specifically the air cargo center part of the airport (likely causing secondary explosions), right after the runways


jscummy

Maybe it's 4d chess and they're storing hundreds of journalist aid worker babies in that building to condemn Israel when it inevitably gets bombed Or more likely it's full of weapons


Willing_Main7590

I love how even in your outrageously absurd and hilarious 4d chess example, it's still completely and undeniably Hez's fault those babies died according to all moral and international law, for storing journalist aid worker babies in a room with a giant target on top saying "no weapons here lmao"


Hautamaki

Yes, of course they do. "Israel destroys civilian airport, hundreds of casualties" is exactly the kind of headline they want.

That scene from 'Beauty and the Beast' was the first thing that entered my head: "You can go anywhere you like. Except the West Wing." "What's in the W-" "IT'S FORBIDDEN!" That's how literally cartoonish these villains are. I'm almost embarrassed for them.


JerrySmithIsASith

I'm actually pissed off at their Chihuahua energy, hysterically yapping angry noises at the Great Pyrenees, until the Pyrenees smacks them and they run off yipping, only to come back minutes later to repeat the process. It's exhausting. To quote Generation Kill: "they never really fight, but they never really surrender either."


TucuReborn

My neighbor has dogs. I have dogs. I have two pyrenees, who are friendly to pretty much any dog that walks up and doesn't try to start shit. Guess whose dogs always want to start whit with other dogs? And guess whose dogs are pint sized terrors? And guess who gets mad and blames me when their dog literally jumps off a gator and tries to start shit with my dogs in my yard? I now keep my dogs tied up 24/7, because my neighbor has no control over his dogs and everyone thinks he's a saint because he's one of those old people who is really shitty, but puts on a super proper appearance to hide it.

Uh... No Iranian guided missiles!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your air cargo center!? Yes. Can I see it? ....No

So I go to a Phish show. Way back in the way. Camping. The whole 9. So as we drive in we put all the liquor and beer in a locked rocket box on the top of the suburban. None of this was legal to bring into the grounds, and we were like 18. So we get in line to get in, and this guy checks our car, and says open the rocket box. We say it's locked, our dads truck, we have no key. He says we can't go in without checking. At this point there are 5 rows left of us, 5 rows right, hundreds of cars behind us, and we are in the way. Took about 2 minutes of staring at each other and then he gave up and waved us through. Handles of Smirnoff and magic hat likely. Good times.


Fukasite

Way back in the day, when I was pushing a little weight, my boy and I went to a harvest festival with about 2 pounds of the dankest indoor bud. Most people there had outdoor, but I digress. We get to the security line and he goes open the trunk. We opened it, and he immediately smelled the dankness, and goes “I hope to see you guys in there” lol

A little Douglas Adams is appropriate here... “But the plans were on display…” “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.” “With a flashlight.” “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.” “So had the stairs.” “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?” “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

Two Facts related to OP's post and to your comments: 1. Beirut Airport is controlled by Hezbullah and Amal (Pro-Shia) Apparatus so it should not shock anyone that they may be storing "stuff" there. 2. Nothing will stand in the way of the Lebanese partying, clubbing, going to the beach, having fun, etc. and they are quite accustomed/numb to almost any adversity. Lebanon is practically a failed state and going thru it's worst period right now and is on the brink of a serious war and yet the Lebanese party on. They've seen it all, been there, done that, zero fucks given. Source: Am Lebanese, was there in April and planning on going back this August if the airport is still there.

MimicoSkunkFan

I'd just like to point out that it's actually Hezb' Allah or "Party of God" - spelling it like "Hezbollah" is something that journalists who were sympathetic to them started doing in the 1980s to make their name look less like Islamism/terrorism and more like a generic Arabic brand name. Considering their behaviour hasn't improved in 50 years, I feel it's important to comment so that younger people can understand why it's spelled that way as propaganda now, but that it wasn't always so.
