Army Denies Hizbullah Prevented it from Inspecting Arms Shipment
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Lebanese army denied a media report that Hizbullah members have prevented it from inspecting a truck loaded with weapons in the western Bekaa valley.
The army command said in a communique late Saturday that neither party members intercepted the army unit nor there was a military presence in the region of Khirbet Qanafar.
The communique urged the media to be accurate and objective while reporting stories linked to the army’s mission or any security incident.
MTV reported on Saturday that the military and security forces sought to approach the truck, but the Hizbullah members prohibited them.
The party consequently cordoned off the area, the TV station said.

MTV should be held accountable for their provocative, intimidating and false reporting.

it would have been better they did not issue such a comment as it shows they received instructions to deny the now obvious :)

No dear: it is part of the co-ordination that exists between the two national security agencies. The people of the village who saw it all and were ordered to stay in doors by the thugs are all "hallucinating" and are a bunch of zionists who are only instigating sectarian hatred!

God help you guys. One minute for the army, one minute against it. You have to stand by it, no matter what happens. In the end will be always your army. You want to empower it, show some respect, even if Hizballah is breaking the rules.

As some of you say to me. What do you suggest? Getting the army in a battle with Hizballah? Then how do you see it developing from there? Americans fought Taliban in Afghanistan, then they wanted to sit with them and negotiate. I prefer diplomatic solutions not wars. The civil war in Lebanon, what did it accomplish? I feel you are setting yourself up for another one. Plus what are you afraid of guys? The syrians ruled you for 30 plus years and you got them out without one bullet being fired.

You contradict yourself. You said don't blame the west, but they told Syria to leave. I guess they wanted it to stay and do the killing before, as long it suits them. And you call me hypocrite.

Again, Lebanons problems are not mainly from the inside but from the hands stretched to the outside. Be it Iran,Saudi, France,US,israel or whatever. All of them do not care about Lebanon.
Lebanese civil war, was not a Lebanese war. At one time, there were 25-28 different countries supporting different militias in the country ( and hence, having power over them, controlling their decisions).
you want to stabilize your country? Join your army. Bring all your kataeib members to join the army, and in case of problems, you know that at least these members (their divisions) will not "split" the army in case of confrontation.

May I remind those that seek direct confrontation. It took the army 3 months and 160 martyrs to overcome 300 foreign terrorist hankered in a small camp - Nahr el Bared. Now think how much will it take to take on 4000 armed Lebanese shia very well armed&equipped and spread throughout the Lebanese territory...it can't, and it will certainly degenerate into sectarian civil war if they did. The sad fact is Lebanese army is not well equipped to confront Hizbullah, thanks to Izrael's efforts to block the heavy equipment promised by France, US, Germany, Belgium, and even Russia.

Well said. Actually is the "Blockade" from West that is allowing organizations as Hezb to grow stronger.
One cannot but wonder why.

Hizbullah's days are numbered when our dear syrian brother depose of the tyrant in Damascus. I am for the lebanese army, the lebanese government, for being lebanese and being proud of it. I am sick of these thugs (Hizes) that claim to be the resistance. I speak for all lebanese when i say, we don't need them to protect us. Their ideology as brought as more harm than good. Long live the red, white and green!!

have peace with Israel.Egypt and Jordan did it. Lebanon would not need a big army or a resistance after that.Imagine the touristic posibilities from Lebanon through Israel all the way to Egypt and back.Have peace and prosper.Where are the politicians that have the guts to do that?All Lebanese know that peace is the only solution,why delay it any longer?

....yeah and we will not have an important army unless we abolish the sectarian/stonage system (+thinking)

Plenty of people think like you, and I share your view. At the very least, there should be a rotation in power if not abolishing completely this outdated system. Meritocracy should be the only criteria of selection and beleive me, none of the current generation of politicians would get a pass. That's why it's impossible, why would they change the constitution to evict themselves?

Lebanon has enemies in the east, north and southern borders. But worst of all, the Persian militia, the enemy within.
