Charbel Confirms Reports of Alleged Drone Overflying Maarab
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Caretaker Interior Minister Marwan Charbel confirmed on Tuesday reports concerning the sighting of a suspicious drone over the residence of Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea in Maarab.
“The matter is not a joke... It's serious according to reports and it was seen with naked eye,” Charbel said in comments to Free Lebanon radio.
He stressed that the necessary measures should be taken to protect Maarab and those who are targeted in assassination attempts.
“Whatever the source of the unmanned aircraft the army should deal with the matter,” Charbel said.
Asked if anti-aircraft fire should be used to target the drone, Charbel said that the option was discussed during the last 48 hours.
The Lebanese Forces said earlier this month that a drone was spotted carrying out flights over Maarab for a period of time.
A couple of days ago the LF informed the army anew that guards sighted the unmanned aircraft again on Friday.
Guards described the aircraft as white and resembles a drone, adding that it flew at a law altitude and caused unusual sounds.
Geagea had escaped an assassination attempt by snipers as he was taking a walk in the garden of his Maarab residence in April 2012.

Well i feel that Flamethrower mouwateen southern will not take long to say that it is UfOs and make fun out of it.. Like boutros harb attempt..
When will them realise that hezbollah is acting like it has full impunity and is really acting as it pleases him... Hashem salman should have been a trigger for thise guys to see how hezbollah treats people with different opinion, how it can kill in day light without being bothered and with nassrallah telling us that it was just an on the spot act (3afawiyeh) donc ca va...
Till when will those guys stay blind?...

This is an official confirmation of what many sarcastically believed was an attempt by Geagea to drum up support. HA is the culprit and will do anything to assassinate Dr. Geagea.

@Southern : those drones over Hariri's residence were Kezbollah drones. Nasrallah failed to prove they are Israeli drones... he waited for years before showing the videos when he had them long before the assassination. Long before anyone accused them. Why didnt he share them from day 1 ? Why didn't he warn Hariri he was under surveillance ? Because it's bull !!!
If it were true, he would have shared them from day 1! This proves these were Hezbollah drones... Hassan Kezballah incriminated himself with these videos... He will hang ... and we will finally celebrate the end of Syrian / Iranian era in Lebanon ! Our new independence day !

Southern, Israel? what's that? I thought the old broken record was given a new facelift, takfiri, KSA.... takfiri, KSA...

Southern, in all seriousness, there have been many M14 activists and politicians killed. It has not been until recently that M8 has suffered from terrorism. I do not blame Israel for the attacks on M8. At the same time you cannot blame Israel for everything bad happening in our country. I know there are people on here that claim their party does nothing wrong, but I think blaming Israel for Hariri, and the Maarab drones takes away credibility.

FT, he is definitely no doctor and I hate how we throw that term around so loosely in our country. And the LF was not very peace loving in the war. But in the last 20 years, what acts of violence has the LF committed? Do you really believe Geagea is lying about drones flying around for PR? This just doesn't add up to me.
