Mashnouq said that the security forces are waging the “fiercest battle” against attempts to shake the security situation, and that the army intelligence was able to thwart a plan of a terror act in one of the capital's streets.
The IS was planning to carry out an operation in an area crowded with cafes and nightclubs in Beirut, similar in terms of selection to the recent operation carried out in Paris, said the daily.
According to information, the IS has prepared its leadership and organization in Lebanon at the structural and logistical levels, to become able to meet the obligations of its leadership in Syria's al-Reqqa and launching quality security strikes against Lebanon.
It plans to have replicas of the recent terrorist operations that took place in Belgium and France.

Always a huge plus stopping ISIS in Lebanon, but what about the opposite Iranian Revolutionary Guard who are equally as awful, but moreso manipulative. As pleased as I am to see these savages thwarted, that's only half of the disease. If the population wasn't so weak as to allow Iran in for the sake of their wallets and selling out their souls, then Lebanon would be at full peace. This is only half the problem, but please don't be blind to the other half causing trouble.
