Red Cross confirms no injuries.

Locals talk of one minor injury, might be of glass shards.

Hezbollah to Aljazeera correspondent (Zeina Khodr): "This explosion was at a house that stored weapons – result of technical error. No one was killed or injured. The building belonged to a Hezbollah-affiliated demining association. The weapons that were stored were left over from wars.”

Hezbollah sources to LBCI: No injuries due to the explosion in Ain Qana. The explosion wasn't a result of a Hezbollah leader being targeted.

MTV correspondent: It has been reported that the building affected by the Ain Qana explosion was used the last time a month ago, when a person was seen entering and leaving the place.

Salem Zahran to MTV: No casualties resulted from the Ain Qana explosion, despite what has been reported; the explosion affected a Hezbollah center used to store weapons and bombs from remnants of war, as well as Israeli cluster bombs collected from the fields.

National News Agency: The explosion in Ein Qana coincided with an intense flight of Israeli aircraft.

IDF jets or drones have actually been reported over the southern sector of south Lebanon.

Semi official: The explosion occurred as a result of mines and shells left over from the Israeli aggression, which "Generations For Peace Association" NGO for Mine Removal was collecting from fields in the southern villages pending disposal, and that did not lead to injuries.

This NGO is affiliated with Hezbullah.

Statement by the Lebanese army: On 9/22/2020, at about 15:00, an explosion occurred in a building in the town of Ain Qana - Al-Tuffah District, and immediately an army force came to the place and began investigations into the causes of the explosion.

Heavy gun shots were heard in Fanar - Zeaitrieh. The cause has not been determined. https://t.co/4V4I99Gn3n

MTV: Hariri tells his position on the government formation issue:

"I decided to help the Prime Minister-designate, Mustafa Adeeb, by naming a finance minister from the Shiite community, whom he names, and not anyone else."

As I mentioned before, Saad Hariri and Foad Siniora are the ones in the shadows forming the government

The house of my friend's got damaged near the blast, and his mother is in the hospital:

"We have a house in the south getting constructed, before and after, it's for the resistance whenever they want, our soul and what is more valuable and all of what we got is theirs."

Al-Jadeed reporter: There has been no official account yet about the cause of the explosion in Ain Qana, and the scene in the town has returned to normal.

Two security guards were located there, one was blasted off to the woods while the other was away buying food. All well.

The director of the Middle East Institute in Washington, Dr. Paul Salem, said:

"There is an American refusal and objection to Hezbollah’s participation in the government." "Macron wants to take into account the American position and accepts sanctions, if he wants to form a government, but by trying to isolate Hezbollah."

About the performance and positions of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, he said: "Pompeo is a candidate for the elections and is trying to present his credentials to the “Israeli lobby”."
