Citing a former
Hezbollah member, the MEK said that flights between Iran and Beirut Airport in
Lebanon often transferred Hezbollah personnel to Iran for training courses and
"smuggle[d] food [and] light and medium weapons" into Lebanon.
That
transfer was alleged to have delivered advanced light weapons from Iran to
Lebanon, particularly through runway 17, which it claims
"exclusively" belongs to Hezbollah. In January 2021, a
Hezbollah member alleged that shipments arriving at runway 17 included
anti-aircraft missiles.
