The operations of transporting and storing explosives of the current size pose a threat to society and the security of the country, in light of the seizure of more than half a ton of explosive materials. He added in press statements that he trusts the Public Prosecutor and the Military Prosecutor, who are doing their part courageously regarding the explosives file. He pointed out that the use of explosives for security purposes or in connection with military acts of war outside the framework of states harms national security, society and the state, according to what was reported by the Lebanese newspaper Al-Diyar. The Minister of Justice indicated that Hezbollah had made previous statements in which it confirmed that these explosives belonged to it, stressing that "all of these elements are involved in the investigation process." Adel Nassar stressed that explosives, illegal weapons, and positions directed against the decisions of the Lebanese state are matters that affect national security and justify resorting to the Judicial Council. Hezbollah announced on Thursday that the truck of explosive materials that was stopped at the Dahr al-Baidar checkpoint belonged to the “resistance,” demanding the immediate release of the detainees and the recovery of the vehicle and what was inside it. The party described these explosives as "capabilities used by the resistance to confront the Israeli occupation in the south," according to what was stated in its statement.
