IDF Arabic-language spokesperson Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee addressed Lebanese journalists on Sunday, directing them to search for an alleged Hezbollah underground bunker beneath Beirut's Al-Sahel Hospital.
The facility, according to the military, is reportedly used by Hezbollah as a secure storage site for approximately $500 million in assets.

Lt. Col. Adraee’s remarks follow attempts by Lebanese journalists to locate the entrance to the bunker. Adraee questioned journalists’ expectations, saying, “Did you expect Hezbollah to simply guide you to Nasrallah’s hideout?” He emphasized that Hezbollah would likely take measures to obscure the site’s true purpose but confirmed that Israeli intelligence had identified the entrance location.
In a detailed description, Adraee referenced various televised reports that showed Lebanese journalists searching a basement area under the hospital. The footage, he explained, shows key features, such as a 15-meter wall suspected of hiding the bunker entrance.

He encouraged journalists and authorities to revisit the site, examine structural points like stairwells and walls, and investigate further to confirm the bunker’s existence.
Adraee concluded by inviting Lebanon’s government, international human rights organizations and media to examine the hospital’s alleged Hezbollah connections, noting Israel’s knowledge of other related locations and activities.
