It was reported in the online newspaper Al-Anbaa:
The Benafoul explosion stole the spotlight in front of routine events and ongoing crises whose consequences extend for days before other crises erupt to loosen their shadows, as the Lebanese woke up to the news of an explosion that shook the city of Sidon, killing the young man, Ali Al-Raz, and injuring 7 other people, and resulted in central destruction. The civil defense of the Islamic Message Scouts Association, as well as the floor allocated to the municipality of Benafoul.
A novel that talked regarding electrical friction that led to the explosion of oxygen bottles that were stored in the place, and it dates back to the period of the spread of the Corona epidemic. However, the size of the huge explosion, the complete destruction of the building, in addition to the great damage to the ocean, raised questions regarding the real causes of the explosion and the circulating story, knowing that it is not the first explosion that occurs in the south, and the information remains confidential.
The head of the “Our Lady of the Mountain” meeting, Fares Saeed, told Al-Anbaa, “What caught our attention was the explosion a few hours following the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, had spoken and warned of incidents that might disrupt the elections, which is a suspicious coincidence.”
For his part, retired Brigadier General Naji Malaeb told Al-Anbaa that “the reasons for the explosion are not yet clear, but it is reprehensible the behavior of some local forces, especially in the southern regions, as these parties cordon off the place and prevent journalists, security forces, and the army implicitly.” From reaching it, the goal is to try to tamper with the crime scene, not with the intention of distorting the scene, but rather to reassure them that there is nothing that might harm them, such as documents or weapons, and this is what happened when the partisan elements imposed a cordon in the place immediately following the last explosion.”
Molaeb pointed out that “the task of the army today does not stop at discovering the site of the explosion, and investigating the remains of explosive materials to determine their nature, but goes beyond investigating the presence of young men who were injured in the place, the nature of their work and the reason for their presence late at night in this center and the backgrounds. By doing so, additional results can be obtained.
He added, “The forces in the south are accustomed to placing weapons and missiles in populated areas, and there were explosions earlier that proved this. But the spread of weapons in this absurd manner is dangerous, regardless of the nature of the existing materials that exploded the day before yesterday,” noting that ” The Israeli enemy will invest in these events to claim internationally that there are weapons in Lebanon among civilians,” calling for the adoption of “a national strategy and a unified national security and placing arms in the hands of the authority and security services.”
