Lebanese media confirm Gallant’s claim Iran is building airport in southern Lebanon
2023-09-13
[IsraelTomes] Lebanese media, citing a non-Israeli source, confirm Israel’s accusations that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

The source says that the site can accommodate large drones, including armed ones, similar to those produced by Iran, according to Lebanese media outlet al-Jadeed.

The source says they believe drones launched from the airfield will mostly be used internally.

Yesterday, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant accused Iran of setting up an airport in southern Lebanon, 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the Israeli border, which he said was being used "for terror purposes" against Israelis.
