Geagea: Hezbollah and Syria are behind the security incidents

Share:

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Tuesday said that Hezbollah is responsible for last Friday’s attack against French UNIFIL soldiers and Sunday night’s rocket launch from the South and that United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon’s mission in the South has been curtailed due to Hezbollah’s continued presence in the area.

During a press conference, Geagea said that it is the job of the competent authorities to uncover the assailants stressing that Hezbollah is directly or indirectly responsible for all the attacks and developments that take place in the South.

The LF leader also accused Hezbollah and Syria of creating proxy “terrorist” cells to use in conducting the attacks.

Five French members of UNIFIL were wounded Friday when a bomb targeted their patrol near the the coastal city of Tyre. One Lebanese civilian was also wounded.

A French U.N. patrol was also attacked on July 26 and Italian peacekeepers were targeted on May 27.

UNIFIL Force Commander Major-General Alberto Asarta Cuevas denounced the attacks but vowed it would not deter his troops from fulfilling their mandate.

France on Sunday accused Syria and its ally Hezbollah of being behind Friday’s attack.

“We have strong reasons to think that this attack came from Syria,” said French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe, noting that Damascus used Hezbollah for such attacks in the past.

Also, a rocket launched Monday overnight in the South landed in the Lebanese border town of Hula.

The LF leader also commented on the abduction and release of Liban Lait company CEO Ahmad Zaidan.

“Zaidan was released, and the security forces knew the geographical spot where he was captured; so is it possible that the competent authorities could not know who kidnapped him?”

“How can the citizens trust their state amid all these developments?” Geagea said

Geagea concluded by saying :

“Stability in Lebanon can therefore only be established through eliminating all armed groups outside the state’s control and getting rid of the magical magical curse of [the formula of] of the army, people, and Resistance,” and replace it with the formula of ‘the unity of people, state and army.’”

      Hi Sebouh. this is indeed a great documentary. It’s all stuff we all know though, or at least we all should know.

      I’ve been frequenting this site for about a year know, and I keep writing about the corrupt political class in lebanon. However, it seems that it all falls on deaf ears. I keep reading comments by seemingly educated people attacking the shia (calling them shiite), attacking aoun, and defending the leaders of m14. aren’t they (our leaders) all the same? didn’t they all deal in lebanese people’s blood and their country’s sovereignty for a quick buck or their own personal agendas? how can anyone defend hariri, geagea, berri, nasralla, aoun, any of them?

      I’m afraid that as long as the people will keep chanting their names, then the people will keep getting f*cked by the system, and the people will continue to get nothing short of what they deserve. Because it is us, THE PEOPLE that put these leaders on a pedastal, and it is us THE PEOPLE that elevate them leaders to the status of GODS, and ultimately, it is us THE PEOPLE that will continue to pay the price.

      for us to have any hope, we must start voting for mps who will truly serve the national interest by creating jobs, and improving the standard of living of the average lebanese and drop the current political class in its entirety.

      until then, we’re all caught ….. in a mosh….

        I’m glad that you enjoyed the documentary which clearly highlights the serious flaws in the Lebanese political system. Unfortunately, the Lebanese political system is the general ideological reflection of Lebanese people.
        Sadly speaking, the dominance of reactionary sectarian M14 and M8 political movements in Lebanon prevents any genuine alternative space to emerge that will challenge the current status quo.

        To all the viewers, I’m glad that you enjoyed the documentary.

      Great documentary. What is the way to increase it visibility? YouTube says it has been downloaded couple of thousands times only. Not enough. What is the best way to spiral it in Lebanon?

      It summarizes the intention of all folks on this forum. I think each of us should each have 5 friends sto ee it and spiral it for another five. Let’s keep track of the downloads…
