Tarshish Violation to Land on Information Committee Agenda as Residents Warn to Hold Sit-in
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
MPs will seek to put the issue of Hizbullah’s attempt to expand its telecommunications network in Tarshish near the eastern town of Zahle on the agenda of the information committee on Wednesday as the town’s residents have warned they would resort to a sit-in if the authorities do not take any action.
An Nahar daily said Sunday that the lawmakers would try to discuss the controversial issue at the parliamentary information committee meeting that is set to study the media law.
Hizbullah official Hussein Janbey has stressed that the expansion of the network was only aimed at guaranteeing a “safe contact with our families and friends in nearby Majdel Tarshish” town, Tarshish Municipal chief Gaby Semaan told An Nahar and al-Mustaqbal newspapers.
Majdel Tarshish is a mixed Christian-Shiite town.
Semaan stressed, however, that Tarshish residents and party representatives have decided to reject “at any cost” Hizbullah’s operations.
He warned they would resort to holding a sit-in “for the use of force against them” after Janbey allegedly told them “no matter what you do, we will expand the network as we have done in other Lebanese regions.”
Semaan thanked Phalange party chief Amin Gemayel and his son MP Sami for supporting Tarshish residents. The Phalange officials have slammed the government for standing idle towards Hizbullah’s telecom network that is intertwined with the network of state institutions.

There is a precedent for attempting to take down an illegal telecoms network.
That was May 7 2008.
Thugs...
We're happy to have a May 7 everyday to stand up for 10452 for the Lebanese people - not the Iranian traitors!!

Tarshish residented are zionist and if they will oppose the implementation of the phone network a new May 7 will happen.
It is a new conspiracy conceived by the US and Israel.
They want to prevent Hizbollah saints from communicating between each others.
But the Resistance will crush the conspiracy and will emerge victorious.

من العيب أن يضطر أهالي ترشيش أن يعرضو أنفسهم وبلدتهم إلى أتصادم مع حزبالله فيما الدولة لا تحمي منشأتها

لماذا يقول وزير الاتصالات و الوزير باسيل بأن هذا مرفوض إذا كان صحيحاً - يجب أن يذهب بنفسه إلى المكان ويخبرنا ما حقيقة الأمر بدل أن يطلب من المتعهد أن يقدم شكوى للدرك. هو وزير فقط في الطابق الثاني من مبنى العدليه ؟

both members of kataeb supported the residents against network.
of course, the secure telecom network can go somewhere else, there is no need to go bother the people.
this is just a pathetic excuse for hallucinatory zionist information war department to say something on an nahar comments section.
by the way, the goverment was illegal in that point, so it can't be against network. it was some members of former goverment private opinion.

Hezbollah is losing support from every corner and group in Lebanon. Even the Shia of Tarshish are rejecting them. Their mafia threats and killing machine is going against the side of good. They cannot win.
