I always thought that Hezbollah was a nasty bunch of people... I just can't imagine any organization other than national armed forces storing huge amounts of bomb-making materials (those are usually also ordnance) and then under rigid discipline about custody. Sure, I know, I know... Israel is the Little Satan in contrast to the Great Satan, the United States of America.
(an aside: should Donald Trump be re-elected or find some devious way to extend his term, the USA might be the literal Great Satan. But I also see Trump going down to defeat anyway). Three Great Powers under dictatorial rule (Russia, China, and the US) would be material for a Crisis worse than the last one.
...Does Lebanon have the means of outlawing an organization that has done something so egregious as to store high explosives in a populated area?

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
