Qahwaji from Tripoli: Security Plan to Proceed Until Completion

Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji stated on Thursday that the military institution's security plan in the northern city of Tripoli will carry on until the whole mission is accomplished, the state-run National News Agency reported.

During a tour to inspect the military troops in Tripoli, Qahwaji said “the security plan implemented in the city in assistance with the security apparatus, enhanced the people's confidence in the state and nation,” he said, assuring that the “army will continue to implement the plan until its completion.”

After meeting with officers and military members, the Army Commander hailed their efforts and sacrifices.

The army began implementing a security plan in Tripoli in an attempt to put an end to the clashes that frequently erupt between the city's rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen.

The army and security forces have so far arrested dozens of suspects and their efforts are ongoing to detain more.

The plan was then implemented in the Bekaa region, with the security forces cracking down on gunmen, car theft gangs, and other outlaws.
