In response to a UN speech by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he accused the Shiite militia of converting "inaccurate projectiles" into precision-guided missiles in Beirut and where he also held up aerial photos which he claimed show the exact locations of the weapons storage compounds, Lebanon's Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil took over 70 foreign envoys on a tour of the alleged Beirut locations.
Foreign Minister Bassil accused Israel of trying to "justify another aggression" against Lebanon by spouting "pure lies."
The tour first took the diplomats to a golf course near Beirut airport, and then to the stadium of the Ahed football team, both of which were identified by Netanyahu as Hezbollah plants. Specifically, Netanyahu said there was a missile site beneath the stadium, prompting Lebanese officials to take the envoys to the underground gym and locker rooms. Ambassadors ended the journey by visiting an abandoned warehouse in the Ouzai neighborhood.
