Lebanese authorities have issued search notices for the wife of detainee Haitham Amhaz and the owner of the truck used to transport explosives. Judge Claude Ghanem, the government commissioner to the Military Court, ordered these search notices after the suspects failed to appear for mandatory questioning. Both individuals were summoned to report to the Lebanese Army's Intelligence Directorate as part of an ongoing probe into the explosives, but they did not attend the scheduled proceedings. Officials initiated these legal measures to locate the pair following their absence from the military inquiry. The investigation remains focused on the origin and transport of the materials linked to the detainee.
Ongoing Investigation and Digital Evidence
Investigators are currently examining digital data extracted from the mobile phones belonging to detainees Ali al-Kurdi and Haitham Amhaz. Authorities also secured the phone of the wife of Haitham Amhaz as part of the evidence gathering process. Experts within the Lebanese Army are reviewing the contents of these devices to identify potential communications or logistical details regarding the explosives. A judicial source stated, "Important information has undoubtedly emerged and is being examined to determine the responsibility of everyone connected in some way to this shipment." The military inquiry remains focused on uncovering the network involved in the transport of the materials. Officials are analyzing the retrieved data to establish the specific roles of the individuals in custody and those currently being sought by the Military Court. This digital forensic work serves as a primary component of the broader probe managed by the Lebanese Army Intelligence Directorate.
Hezbollah Resistance to Judicial Process
Hezbollah has refused to hand over two officials, identified as Sajed and Zulfiqar, who were ordered to appear for questioning by judicial authorities. These individuals were summoned in connection with the ongoing explosives probe, but the group declined to facilitate their attendance at the military inquiry.
Hezbollah representatives stated that the organization would treat any attempt by Lebanese authorities to arrest its officials or members as an act of Israeli aggression. This position reflects a broader rejection of the current legal proceedings targeting those associated with the seized materials.
Parallel to this stance, Hezbollah has demanded the return of the seized truck and its cargo of explosives. The group maintains that the vehicle and the materials contained within should be handed back to its custody, challenging the seizure conducted by security forces. These developments have created a standoff between the group and the military judicial system as officials attempt to identify the network responsible for the shipment. The Military Court continues to monitor the situation regarding the summonses issued for the two officials, even as Hezbollah maintains its refusal to comply with the requested appearances.
