Israel has accused Hezbollah of keeping hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and gold in a bunker under a hospital in the southern suburbs of Beirut, though it said it would not strike the complex.

The Sahel hospital in Dahiyeh was evacuated shortly afterwards, and Fadi Alame, its director, told Reuters that the allegations were untrue.

Israel did not provide evidence for its claim that cash was being kept under the hospital. Instead, it published an animated graphic that purported to show a bunker under the hospital and said it had previously been used to hide the former secretary general of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.

      That's why they evacuated it, they know Israel would bomb it. They've targeted hospitals and abundances in Lebanon before (and Gaza as well, of course).

    Israel appealed to the Lebanese government to confiscate the money

    Has the Lebanese government responded to any of these claims? I haven't heard much from the government itself. I've just been assuming they might as well be innocent bystanders praying "oh god not again".
