Israel identified a Hezbollah bunker on Monday located beneath a Beirut hospital. Hezbollah is storing more than $500 million in gold and cash in the bunker, according to IDF Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari.
“Tonight, we’re exposing Hezbollah’s financial network,” he said in a video released Monday on X. The clip features an illustration of the bunker built under the residential Al-Sahel Hospital.
“The bunker was deliberately placed under a hospital, and it holds more than half a billion dollars in cash and gold,” Hagari claimed. “That money could have been used to rehabilitate Lebanon, but it went to rehabilitate Hezbollah.”
