The Saudi news site "Ilf" published a comprehensive interview today (Friday) with the chief of staff and former defense minister, Moshe Ya'alon, now a Knesset member on behalf of the Yesh Atid-TLM list, in which he claimed that the Hezbollah terrorist organization was responsible for the blast that claimed their lives. Of 154 people in the capitals of the Lebanese capital.

In an interview with Saudi website correspondent Majdi Halabi, Ya'alon claims that a Hezbollah ammunition depot that caught fire caused the ammonia to ignite in a warehouse in the port of Beirut. Ya'alon also claimed that Hezbollah was aware of the existence of the nitrogenous ammonia reservoir in the port and was in fact in control of the port authorities.

"Lebanon is an independent country and was abducted by Hezbollah," Ya'alon told the Saudi website. When asked if he knew about Hezbollah's ammunition depots located in the port of Beirut, Ya'alon replied that he "does not want to go into what we know and what not, but we have warned in the past that there are manufacturing laboratories and weapons and weapons depots in Beirut."

"Obviously there was a Hezbollah weapons depot and it was clear that there was stored nitrogen ammonia, which is a substance that can be used militarily. Do you know where they found this substance? They found it in the possession of Hezbollah cells in Germany and Cyprus and in a terrorist cell in Kuwait. "I am sure that Hezbollah knows everything about this dangerous substance and that the stockpile of weapons that was in the port does not belong to the Lebanese army, Hezbollah needs to explain to the Lebanese people what happened," Ya'alon added.

As for the Lebanese people, Ya'alon added: We always say that the Lebanese people are not our enemy, Hezbollah is our enemy and the Lebanese government is responsible for what happens and cannot deny it. But does their conduct serve the Lebanese people? No, it serves Ira and the one who pays the price is the Lebanese people. "
