beqaa valley Lebanese Army troops and Hezbollah gunmen engaged in a brief confrontation Friday in the Beqaa valley in East Lebanon at an illegal checkpoint that was erected by the Iranian backed Shiite  militant group , Central News Agency ( CNA) reported.

Brig. Gen. Abdelsalam Samhat who heads up the Lebanese Army Intelligence unit in the Bekaa Valley asked the Hezbollah gunmen to remove the checkpoint they had erected on the main road leading to the village of Labweh, but the gunmen refused.

The Army Intelligence Intelligence convoy then drove away toward the city of Baalbek, and both sides fired several warning shots in the air, CNA added.

Half an hour later, a second confrontation occurred between the army and a different group of Hezbollah gunmen, who were also erecting illegal checkpoints near the village of Nabi Othman.

Contacts between the Army Command and Hezbollah officials helped contain the incident, CNA added

    Oh Nassrallah where is the formula of People, Army and Resistance.. you belligerent and arrogant bastard. This formula we all know is just fake. you know it, Lebanese know it and God knows it. Allah do not need a party. He needs faithful followers not killers in the name of Allah. the same goes for Al Qaada and Al nusra mind you.

    Pretty BAD when your ‘resistance’ doesn’t recognize your own Army.

    1. I would word it this way ” Pretty BAD when A FAKE RESISTANCE doesn’t recognize the LEBANESE Army.

      It will be night. Somebody will sneeze. A gun will go off. Bullets will then fly everywhere. Everyone in the whole area will be sweating and dialling the same line …. “Alloooo Akar ???”
      When the ammo-clips run out on both sides, someone will ask: ‘Who are you?’ There will be ‘dialogue’.
      2 ‘commanders’ will get out their own different rule-books – and meet over some Arak.
      In the morning light, 2 children and a few woman will be found dead in their houses …. a news guy will say ’15 wounded’. And the Ministers of the non-existent cabinet will have the free-lunch at Babbda again to bring out ‘statements’. Some will honour the dead ‘Marturs’ who saw nothing.
      A year later, it may be ‘determined on expert advice’ that, if everyone is wearing the same styles of uniform they should at least have ‘recognition beepers’ installed under the skin for dark nights. Money will need to be acquired from ‘Rich Relatives’ … somewhere … for this to take place, and at least 2 ministers will fight, again at the Babbda Lunch, to decide which should pocket the ‘finder’s fee’ for the ‘skin resistors’ to be installed after re-wording the ‘sign-up rulebooks’, so that no-one can say it’s inhumane to plug devices into soldiers.
      Life in Liban will carry on in the normal fashion. Have a Falafel.
