Lebanon condemns Hezbollah’s involvement in Kuwait plot

Lebanon strongly condemns the reported terrorist plot targeting Kuwait’s sovereignty and security, as well as Hezbollah’s alleged involvement in the scheme.

In a statement issued on x, the Lebanese Foreign Affairs ministry said that “the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates express its strong condemnation of the terrorist plot targeting the sovereignty and security of the State of Kuwait and condemns the involvement of Lebanese Hezbollah in the plot,” referring to the government decision issued on March 2, 2026, banning Hezbollah’s military and security activities.

The ministry added that “Lebanon expresses its full solidarity with the State of Kuwait, which has always stood by it in times of hardship, congratulates Kuwaiti security agencies on their vigilance, and expresses its full readiness to cooperate in investigations to ensure those responsible are brought to justice.”

Kuwait’s Interior Ministry announced on Monday the dismantling of a cell linked to Hezbollah consisting of 14 Kuwaiti nationals and two Lebanese individuals, accused of targeting the country’s sovereignty, destabilizing security, and spreading chaos.

Authorities said the operation resulted in the seizure of firearms, ammunition, a weapon used for assassinations, encrypted communication devices, drones, maps, narcotic substances, cash amounts, as well as flags and images linked to the cell.
