Army Denies Hizbullah Prevented it from Inspecting Arms Shipment
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.
