After losing its significant amount of financial resources with the Beirut port explosion last year, Lebanese group Hezbollah is now the focus of pressures by the local and international community after the killing of prominent Shia political activist Luqman Salim south of Lebanon.

The death of Salim, who is known for his criticism of Hezbollah, came amid efforts to form a new government in Lebanon as the country is facing its worst economic crisis aggravated by the massive blast that rocked Beirut's port on Aug. 4.

“The interest of the international community in Lebanon increased after the explosion at the Beirut port. The issue of Hezbollah's weapons has started to be brought into question, with some arguing that the topic should be put on the negotiation table,” Lebanese political analyst Munir al-Rabih told Anadolu Agency.

Al-Rabih noted that discussions are underway on the need for radical reforms at Beirut’s Rafiq Hariri International Airport, which is seen as one of the most important sources for financing Hezbollah.

All kinds of people are ticked off. Including Americans. Like this:
