The biggest single bust on record!

The Internal Security Forces seized more than 1.5 million liters of gasoline in Hawsh al-Omara in Zahle, distributed among 38 tanks, each with a capacity of about 50,000 liters

The Ministry of Energy has been tasked with the job of withdrawing this amount by safe methods and sell it to the state treasury, according to the circular of the discriminatory Public Prosecution office.
Israel Defense newspaper revealed that the Egyptian Minister of Intelligence, Abbas Kamel, resorted to Hezbullah to persuade its leaders to mediate with Hamas to conclude a truce agreement in the Gaza Strip.

A video circulated yesterday of a gas station, only filling gas for card holding members of the Lebanese Forces political party. Non party holders are denied access to gov subsidized fuel

It's Sakr Gas station, whose owner was caught hoarding 100s of thousands of fuel illegally
Security Forces, as of now, refused or is unwilling to publish photos of the busted tanks nor the name of their owner.

They previously did publish a video of someone who hoarded just 5,000 L. So revealing identities shouldn't be an issue. (Edit)
A senior Hezbullah official for Al-Mayadeen:

"There is no truth to what the website "Intelligence Online" reported about an Egyptian security meeting with Hezbullah. The news is false, and the Egyptian Minister of Intelligence did not visit Dahyeh."
A senior Hamas leader told Al-Akhbar:

"For Egypt, Hezbullah is a non-neutral mediator, and if Egypt wants Hezbullah's mediation, they'll find Hezbullah as our spokesmen."
Officially, the amount confiscated is owned by Ibrahim Sakr, official in the Lebanese Forces party.

The cumulative total confiscated from his properties is more then 2,000,000 L of gasoline, enough for more then 100,000 cars in Lebanon.

Sakr Gas stations, as seen in my earlier tweets, were only selling to party members.

But that's not a one man's plan to wealth, this was supposed to be Lebanese Force's strategic fuel reserve to when Lebanon is unable to buy fuel anymore.
