US has not seen evidence of Hezbollah cash bunker under Beirut hospital, Pentagon chief says
[IsraelTimes] US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says that he has not seen evidence that there was a Hezbollah bunker filled with cash built under a hospital in Beirut,
..no doubt…
adding that Washington would continue to work with Israel to get better insights.
Good luck with that. Did you ask politely? How about nicely?
Israel's gonna trust them with classified information? Right. Sure.
Israel’s military said that Hezbollah has stashed hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and gold in a bunker built under a hospital in Beirut, adding that it would not strike the facility as it keeps up attacks against the group’s financial assets.

“We have not seen evidence of that at this moment. But, you know, we will continue to collaborate with our Israeli counterparts to gain better fidelity on exactly what they are looking at,” Austin tells reporters in Rome.

Fadi Alameh, a Lebanese lawmaker with the Shi’ite Amal Movement party and the director of the hospital in question, Al-Sahel, has told Reuters that Israel was making false and slanderous claims and called on the Lebanese Army to visit and show it had only operating rooms, patients and a morgue.

Particularly while staring resolutely in the other direction, with fingers in ears going "la la la."
