Report: Hizbullah Hindering Security Forces' Access to Some Bekaa Regions
Security forces have so far failed to arrest any major fugitives, three days into the adoption of a state-approved security plan in the eastern Bekaa region, reported the Saudi daily Okaz on Sunday.
It revealed that Hizbullah has prevented the security forces from entering the outskirts of some towns in the area because the party has “transformed them into military zones.”
These zones also include training camps.
Later on Sunday, the army issued a statement announcing that it had arrested during its operations on Saturday 33 suspects, confiscated nine cars and 26 motorcycles, and seized a number of drugs, military equipment, and light weapons.
The latest arrests bring the total number of detainees to at least 90 since the security plan kicked off on Thursday.
