تسلم الجيش من الولايات المتحدة الاميريكية الجمعة دفعة جديدة من الذخائر، وذلك في اطار برنامج المساعدات الاميركية المقررة له.
وقالت الوكالة الوطنية للاعلام أن "اللواء اللوجستي في الجيش تسلم وفي حضور عدد من الضباط ومن مكتب التعاون الدفاعي الأميركي في لبنان، عبر مطار رفيق الحريري الدولي، كمية من الذخائر المختلفة".
وتأتي هذه الدفعة الجديدة، حسب بيان لمديرية التوجيه في قيادة الجيش، ضمن إطار برنامج المساعدات الأميركية المقررة للجيش اللبناني، والالتزامات والاتفاقيات الموقعة بين الجانبين.
وبدات هذه المساعدات اثر الاحداث الدامية التي شهدتها بلدة عرسال البقاعية بين الجيش و مجموعات ارهابية شهر اب الفائت.
واول شهر أيلول الجاري تسلم الجيش كمية من الذخائر والاسلحة. و في 29 أب الفائت وصلت بيروت طائرة أميركية محملة بأسلحة وذخائر للجيش. وتنوعت الأسلحة بين 480 صاروخ AT4 المحمول على الكتف، واكثر من 500 بندقية A4-M16.
ومن ضمن الاسلحة أيضا مدافع الهاون مع ذخائرها، كما شملت ألف بندقية
وكانت السعودية تقدمت بهبة مليار دولار لم تعرف بعد طريقة صرفها كما سابقتها التي تبلغ 3 مليار دولار. وذلك من أجل دعم القوات المسلحة.

Saudi and the USA give the lebanese army weapons to help the country.
Iran gives HA weapons to allow HA to oppress the rest of the country.

FT seems very upset and frustrated that our army is getting support. FT- being that you have intimate knowledge of the "obsolete" equipment the army is receiving. please provide that list along with the quantities for us to collectively protest to our politicians forcing them to do a better job negotiating. Let's be a team here and work towards a better Lebanon and a stronger army.

But seriously, besides this thing about goggles which got me laughing, Iran's leadership is not really starving.
Khamenei controlls a "sovereign wealth fund" of north of 100 Billion dollars. What is the expense of 1B dollars in yearly expenses to throw to HA yearly to be able to use Lebanon as a pawn?

"a sanction-riddled country like iran with a starving economy" says the paid propagandist. The same sanction-riddles economy that has been gifting your terror militia with more than 100,000 rockets, drones, rocket launchers, etc and the shia yemenis with tanks, and the Bahraini shias with explosives, and the Iraqi shias with billions in military equipment. And let's not forget their military support for Assad.

At least they are giving us boots. While others such as Iran is training and supplying arms and logistics via Syria to a militia.

Daesh is a criminal terrorist organization that needs to be eradicated from the globe. This is the first priority. We all agree on that.
However, Daesh was welcome in lebanon only because HA created an atmosphere conducive to it by its oppression of half the lebanese population (including shias ) and stealing the decisions of peace and war from Lebanese.
It is not a sectarian issue. Hashem Salman was killed by shias. Hanin Ghaddar is being treatened by shia. HA are doing a a cold calculated coup that we are all victims, including shias.

One nation, one army, like any other civilized society. Not one army and a militant faction that doesn't even take orders from Lebanon, nor respect its people.

I see Flamer is running away from our argument on the other article, or he's waiting 10 hours to reply to me to make it look like he got the last word like usual.
Flamer, first of all, it was Syria who legitimised Hezbollah. It was Syria who changed all the districts so pro-Syrian politicians could be elected to the Lebanese government. It was Syria who outlawed all the Christians (Aoun and Gemayel were in exile, Geagea was imprisoned), and Saad Hariri wasn't even a politician until his dad was assassinated. So stop calling all these March 14 politicians Syrian lackeys.

And why do you always discredit US arms shipments to Lebanon? Would you say the same thing if Russia armed the LAF? At least someone is giving the LAF weapons, as the French and Saudis stalled the weapons deliveries.

Hahahahaha yeah so that's why after Hariri's assassination, Hezbollah drove its supporters in vans to the March 8 rally thanking Syria for it's occupation. That's why they blew up the lead investigator when he discovered that the phone networks traced back to a Hezbollah hospital (or was it made up on spreadsheets?). That's why Ghazi Kanaan, leader of the Syrian moukhabarat in Lebanon, was blown up by Assad in Damascus.

This is great news for Lebanon,
A long awaited shipment, to stabilise this beloved country.
Now we ask for Nassrallah to hand over or volunteer in handover weapons to the legitimate security force, the respected LAF.
No we don't want to hear another scare mongering speech "I will cut of the hand......." Mr Nassrallah.

Why should we show aggression to israel, Egypt & Jordan are at peace with israel so why not lebanon.

Oh sorry, times have changed israel is no longer the threat!
Isis is.... Lebanon LAF cannot defend itself you say?
That's a lie Mr Nasrallah.
If it weren't for LAF not Hizbullah Isis would have been in Lebanon.

Yep, Hellfire Missiles have been shipped to the LAF by the USA as of September 12, 2014.
For the US, Lebanon is a strategic contain state since Da'eg is moving west seeking an outlet to the sea and wants Tripoli. They won't get it. Lebanon will stand tall, and the US will back us in that stand.
