Summary
Beirut airport has seen the dismissal of numerous staff with Hezbollah ties as the new Lebanese government intensifies efforts against the group, marking a shift in the enforcement of existing laws and resulting in arrests of smugglers. Enhanced security measures, including AI-driven surveillance, have led to stricter searches of planes and passengers, with flights from Iran suspended since February. Although Hezbollah has acknowledged the government’s progress, officials from the U.S. and Israel remain cautious, emphasizing that further actions are needed to diminish Hezbollah’s influence at Lebanese ports.
