"HEZBOLLAH'S ECONOMIC STRUCTURE WILL BE DESTROYED"
CNN TÜRK Correspondent Emrah Çakmak provided information on the live broadcast regarding Israel's attacks on Beirut.
''It is stated that Hezbollah's economic structure will be destroyed. The statement came minutes ago. First of all, they said this, some information messages were transmitted from the air. A statement came from Israeli military officials. In that statement, they said, 'Residents of Lebanon, the Israeli army will begin to attack the infrastructure belonging to the Al-Qard Al-Hassan association affiliated with Hezbollah. Get away from here immediately.' It is said that these structures are financed by Iran. Look, attention is drawn to Iran again. They say Hezbollah uses these funds to finance terrorists' activities, including arming, weapons storage, and the establishment and financing of launch sites. The Israeli army spokesperson made a long statement. In this statement, he says that various terrorist activities are carried out in addition to the salaries of organization members. The Al-Qard Al-Hassan association participates in the financing of terrorist activities carried out by the Hezbollah organization against Israel, and for this reason, the Israeli army has decided to attack this structure along with its infrastructure. Tonight, Israel has once again started and is continuing its attacks on Lebanon, which it had paused for a long time. The Israeli army continues to work strongly to destroy Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure.''
