Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq announced on Saturday a plan to help citizens “safely” escape the Lebanese town of Tufail, which is located inside Syria.

The plan involves securing a safe passage supervised by Lebanese forces and which would allow the village's residents to escape "without being subjected to any Syrian gunman."

Head of the Loyalty to Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad stated on Friday that some of the presidential candidacies could hamper the upcoming elections, pointing to the necessity of choosing a president who “preserves and defends the resistance’s choice.”

Raad also voiced hopes that the presidential elections are held on time.

The Syrian opposition slammed on Tuesday the latest positions of Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on the Syrian conflict, saying that they are a reflection of the party's waning influence on the ground.

Syrian National Coalition member Mohammed Yehya Maktabi said: “Nasrallah's remarks are a sign of the great confusion Hizbullah is experiencing as a result of the great number of losses among its ranks.”

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has noted that Lebanese parties can elect a president without being affected by foreign influence, pointing out that President Michel Suleiman's recent remarks have ended his role as a national dialogue moderator.

In the second part of an interview with As Safir newspaper that will be published Tuesday, Nasrallah clarified the reasons that prompted his party to boycott the recent dialogue session, saying Suleiman's “latest stances have made him lose his role as national dialogue moderator.”

Some of March 14's supporters are with Hizbullah's military intervention in Syria and the Syrian regime is “not facing the threat of collapse anymore,” Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has announced.

“We're not facing a problem with our supporters regarding our involvement in Syria. On the contrary, some of those who were hesitant have now made up their minds and decided to support our choice,” Nasrallah said in excerpts of an interview with As Safir newspaper that will be published Monday.

The so-called Free Sunnis of Baalbek Brigade noted Thursday that “Hizbullah and Iran” are behind the security plan that the army is poised to implement in the Bekaa city, vowing to turn Baalbek into “a graveyard for the 'Crusader army' and Hizbullah.”

“Neither you nor Hizbullah are capable of removing the revolutionary pulse from our hearts, even if you try to implement the Iranian scheme under the pretext of 'the security plan in Baalbek',” the shadowy group said in a post on its Twitter account, addressing what it called “the non-Lebanese army.”

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah hinted on Saturday that his party will boycott national dialogue, encouraging instead the election of a new president before resuming talks.

Nasrallah also lashed out at president Michel Suleiman's stance on the army-people-resistance equation.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea announced that he is a “natural” candidate for presidency, vowing to withdraw Hizbullah's forces from neighboring Syria if he was elected the next head of state.

"I am naturally a candidate for presidency since I am the head of the most popular Christian party in Lebanon according to polls,” Geagea said in an interview on Al-Arabiya television that aired on Wednesday.

One person was killed and at least two others injured on Saturday after several rockets fired from the eastern mountain range landed on Shiite towns in the Bekaa Valley, the Lebanese army and the state-run National News Agency said.

A boy named Abbas Saleh Saifeddine died in al-Nabi Othman while two others were wounded in al-Labweh, NNA and media reports said.

Deputy head of Hizbullah's Executive Council Sheikh Nabil Qaouq stressed Sunday that the policy statement of the new cabinet will be “born dead” if it fails to mention resistance against Israel.

“The resistance is the soul of the policy statement and any statement without it will be dead and soulless and it won't win the confidence of the Lebanese or the parliament,” Qaouq warned during a memorial service held by Hizbullah in the southern town of Majdal Zoun.
