Army Begins Removing Hizbullah Checkpoints in Baalbek, al-Hermel
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The army kicked off on Saturday preliminary measures to begin implementing in the northern and central Bekaa a security plan similar to the one executed in the northern city of Tripoli, reported the daily An Nahar on Sunday.
It said that the army's removal of Hizbullah checkpoints between the regions of Baalbek and al-Hermel and in Arsal is the first sign of the implementation of the plan.
The plan will be similar to that of Tripoli, but it will witness additional checkpoints and strict measures at border-crossings with Syria in order to combat the infiltration of terrorist groups and smuggling of booby-trapped vehicles into Lebanon, continued An Nahar.
Concerned sides predicted to the daily that the security plan will likely meet the same success as that of Tripoli given the people's positive response to the security measures and their exasperation with the poor security situation in Arsal, nearby areas, Baalbek, and al-Hermel.
Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq had discussed the security plan on Saturday with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi, saying that it will eventually be implemented in Beirut.
The Tripoli plan got underway on Tuesday with the army and security forces cracking down on gunmen, confiscating weapons and arresting suspects.
The northern city had frequently witnessed clashes between the impoverished rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen.
The deep divisions between the two sides have grown since the eruption of the Syrian crisis in March 2011.
The Bab al-Tabbaneh neighborhood backs the Syrian uprising, while the Jabal Mohsen area supports the country's ruling regime.
The impact of the Syrian crisis has also been felt in the Bekaa, with the army arresting a number of gunmen attempting to enter Lebanon illegally from the neighboring country and seizing booby-trapped vehicles that were to be used in terrorist attacks in Lebanon.

Brital... Please handle Brital.
By going to Hermel you are protecting Hermel. By going to Brital you are protecting the rest of Lebanon.

agreed. however the thugs in brital are mainly car thieves and drug dealers, and pose a lesser threat than those in arsal, who threaten the rest of the country with car bombs.
i'd suggest focusing on arsal first, then brital, then the rest.

mowaten.
As texas told you, Brital are not only petty thugs who steal cars and deal drugs. They are grand criminals who kidnap 10 y o kids. They are known and they are covered by Berri the thug who negotiated the release.
Now I dont really disagree with your post, as long as they actually do go ahead and go to Brital second. Not halt at the areas that suit HA.

Typical Naharnet propaganda, the LAF took over the checkpoints, after a clear deal with the Resistance, why all the hostility Naharnet? The LAF came in Agreement with the Resistance to move into these areas. There were no trouble at all, so stop your Israeli American media. Be neutral for once

When the LAF doesn't do its job, it is criticised, when it does it is also criticised, so let the LAF do its job. Allez, frappez avant de parler.

hey falanges, you think you are tough, because you were able to slaughter women and children? You kiss the feet of Israel, while you do their dirty business. The Resistance which you hate, are the only ones with the guts to stand up to Israel, while you fake christians and cowards give political cover for Israeli airplanes.

we are armed and ready fool. hahaha hand and hand. you are too brainwashed by your manar tv u watch from satellite in the western country your from. you can say that we kiss the feet of usa and isreal all day long, but you uneducated cant see that the world views (even yours) support the western civil lifestyle. i would like to see your freedom of speech in your beloved iran or any other country you see as your role model country. If you hate the west so much, dont wear their clothes, dont use thier phones, dont watch their tvs, dont use their invention called the internet, dont drive a car... ride your camel, wear your sheets, entertain yourself watching stonings and hangings, and live like an animal in the stone ages like the hungry iranians are forced to live because of their govt you support. ask an iranian in private what they think of their govt and you will see the reality you are supporting.

how convenient anonyme, making up BS as you go, and then deciding you "confirmed" something. you're only confirming how mentally limited and hateful you are, if the sun rises in the east you'll take it as a confirmation that syria is behind it too..
