Ashkenazi hints Hezbollah behind Beirut blast
[JPost] - The massive explosion in Beirut is shows Hezbollah uses of Lebanese civilians and cities to cover for their terrorist actions, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi told 12 ambassadors of UN Security Council member states at Israel’s northern border on Tuesday.

Ashkenazi made thinly-veiled hints that Hezbollah was responsible for the blast and that the 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored at the Beirut port may have belonged to the terrorist organization. Israel has long held that Hezbollah controlled the port.

#2 Hezbollah (frequently called Hezbshaitan locally) had control of security at portions of the port per their previous propaganda.

We don't know which loading docks were theirs or which warehouses. This seems a pretty straight forward factual question that doesn't get answered.
