NOURNEWS - An explosion in the Lebanese capital Beirut on Tuesday afternoon, which according to Lebanese officials was caused by the initial explosion of a fireworks depot and its spread to a warehouse where ammonium nitrate explosives were stored, caused the explosion, that shaped shocking and very unfortunate tragedy capture in this country.
The horrific blast devastated much of Beirut, and as of this writing, more than 70 Lebanese citizens have been killed and nearly 3,700 injured.
According to the Lebanese Minister of Health, Beirut hospitals are full of injured people and there is almost no place to admit new people.
Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab, in a short speech, pointed out the reasons for this tragic incident and called on all friendly Lebanese countries and international organizations to stand with the Lebanese government and people in this unfortunate incident and tohelp Lwbanon in order to reduce the painful effects of this incident.
In the first reaction to the incident, Lebanese government officials and political party leaders in the country called on the people to stand together and maintain social cohesion and the spirit of national unity in order to overcome the situation.
It is too early to judge the causes and factors of this incident, but the Lebanese Prime Minister has promised that he will use all the efforts of the government to address the various dimensions of this incident and the possible culprits will be dealt with legally.
The Zionist regime, which is often referred to as a first-degree culprit in such incidents, has also stated that it had no role in the incident.
A notable issue in this tragic event is the astonishing stance of the Saudi-affiliated Al-Arabiya TV channel, which published false news about the incident, claiming that the explosion of Hezbollah ammunition depots was the cause of this incident.
Undoubtedly, the publication of such fake news, which contradicts the official positions announced by the Lebanese government, while being a disgusting behavior and an example of political greed, does not pursue a goal other than creating a rift in the unity of the Lebanese people.
The unfortunate behavior of Saudi Arabia as an Arab country claiming leadership in the Islamic world in this tragic incident showed that its rulers do not miss even the opportunity that the grief and sorrow of the Lebanese people provided for this regime to settle accounts with the glorious Resistance Front, and in this way, they simply violate the basic moral and human principles.
