Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon has warned that Israel will not tolerate advanced weapons reaching Hizbullah, which has fought alongside Syrian troops.

“Those who try to violate our sovereignty – we will strike them, and those who try to transfer advanced weapons to terror elements, with an emphasis on Hizbullah, we will strike them, and those who try to transfer chemical weapons to terror elements, we will strike them,” Yaalon said on Tuesday during a visit to Gaza-border communities.

Prime Minister Tammam Salam disclosed on Monday that he supports the demands of the civil society, slamming accusations that the demonstrations are orchestrated from abroad.

“The demands of the civil society are righteous, I am probably somewhere in support of their demands and I'm not with the political forces in this matter,” Salam told the pan-Arab al-Hayat daily.

Al-Mustaqbal movement leader Saad Hariri criticized on Saturday Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's position saying that the latter has linked the fate of Lebanon's presidency to that in Syria, dimming the hopes to have a head of state.

“Sayyed Hassan has announced that Lebanon will not have a president before knowing the fate of the presidency in Syria,” said Hariri via twitter.

The Lebanese army arrested a Palestinian national in the refugee camp of Sabra following a dispute that developed into an exchange of fire.

“Late on Friday, clashes that erupted between Palestinian nationals in Sabra region aggravated and developed into torching some houses and an exchange of fire,” the army said in a communique on Saturday.

PM Tammam Salam held a meeting on Friday with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration, Anne Richard where talks highlighted the burden of Syrian refugees on Lebanon.

“We always call on all relevant officials to ease the burden of Syrian refugees on Lebanon,” Salam told Richard.

European Union leaders, faced with a staggering migration crisis and deep divisions over how to tackle it, managed to agree early Thursday to boost border controls to ease the influx and to send 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) to international agencies helping refugees at camps near their home countries.

The leaders also pledged to boost support to Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan to help them cope with the millions fleeing the fighting in Syria.

European Union leaders, who will gather for an emergency summit on the migration crisis on Wednesday, are expected to give extra funding to Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and U.N. agencies.

The leaders are hoping that the funding would help stop the flow of refugees to Europe.

Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders has said the only way to halt the flow of migrants pouring into Europe is to end the war in Syria, advising the European Union to hold talks with Lebanese officials.

Koenders, who visited a refugee camp in the eastern Bekaa Valley on Tuesday, said: "It is not only a question of border controls and quotas. If the war in Syria does not end, people will keep coming."

The Hungarian government placed advertisements in the Lebanese press on Monday warning of "the strongest possible action" against anyone attempting to cross its borders illegally.

But a full-page notice in other local newspapers featured a letter by the Doctors Without Borders group urging the European Union to open its borders to refugees.

The Internal Security Forces arrested a Lebanese national in the eastern Bekaa valley on charges of carrying out terrorist attacks in the area in favor of the Salafist al-Nour Brigades, an ISF statement said on Monday.

The detainee was arrested on charges of tossing explosives in towns and villages in the Bekaa in collaboration with a Lebanese who had been arrested earlier.
