Hezbollah’s bomb of choice is ammonium nitrate. The same substance that blew up a large section of Beirut last week was used by Hezbollah numerous times before against the US and around the world.
The Isreali News source WorldIsraelNews.com reported this morning:
The ammonium nitrate that blew up last week in Beirut was owned by the Hezbollah terror group that intended to use the material in a war against Israel, a top investigative reporter said Friday.
The leader of the Iran-backed terrorist organization, Hassan Nasrallah, is the person at the top responsible for the material having been in Beirut’s port before the massive explosion last week that claimed over 150 lives, wounded 6,000 people and left a large part of the Lebanese capital in ruins, said Channel 13 Arab Affairs reporter Zvi Yehezkeli.
This is not the first time Hezbollah stored or used this substance in a bombing of mass destruction. Yaacov Apelbaum provided a list of recent events where Hezbollah used this substance to murder innocents.
- Germany – May 2020, the German government was tipped off about warehouses in the south of the country where Hezbollah stashed hundreds of kilograms of ammonium nitrate.
- UK – September 2018, a large cache belonging to a Hezbollah cells, containing about 3 tons of ammonium nitrate, was found at four locations in North London.

- Lebanon – October 1983, Hezbollah blows up the US marines barracks in Beirut.
In 1983 and again in 2020, Hezbollah is responsible for massive bombs exploding in Beirut, Lebanon.
The explosion in Beirut should be a wake up call to the US and other western nations. Two Hezbollah members were recently arrested in the US. Both these individuals had connections to Hezbollah’s chemical of choice. Both are convicted members of a US based Hezbollah network.
