Ibrahim rules out all-out war, says any escalation will be controlled
Former General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim has ruled out an “all-out war,” despite the soaring tensions in Lebanon and the region following Israel’s assassination of Fouad Shukur in Beirut and Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
“Any potential escalation in Lebanon will be controlled,” Ibrahim said.
He voiced his remarks during a meeting at his office in Beirut with Brazilian Ambassador to Lebanon Tarcísio Costa, who was accompanied by the embassy’s military attache and political adviser.
