آلاف المسلحين "يحضرون للتمدد نحو المناطق اللبنانية والسورية"
Read this story in English
كشفت مصادر امنية عن تحضيرات للمجموعات المسلحة لمحاولة التمدد باتجاه جرود عرسال ورأس بعلبك من جهة، وجرود القلمون السورية من جهة اخرى.
وصباح الثلاثاء، نقلت صحيفة "الديار" عن مصادر امنية قولها ان "هناك بين ثلاثة وأربعة آلاف مسلح في جرود عرسال ورأس بعلبك".
واوضحت المصادر ان المعطيات تشير الى ان "المسلحين سيحاولون التمدد باتجاه المناطق اللبنانية المواجهة بعد ذوبان الثلج"، غير انها اكدت ان "وحدات الجيش جاهزة للرد على اي محاولة تسلل او تمدد".
عليه، توقعت مصادر "الديار" ان يتمدد هؤلاء المسلحون باتجاهين: "الاول هو باتجاه المناطق اللبنانية المقابلة لجرود عرسال ورأس بعلبك "، اما الثاني فهو "باتجاه المناطق السورية المقابلة لجرود القلمون لتخفيف الضغط على المسلحين المتواجدين في مثلث القنيطرة، درعا وريف دمشق."
وانطلاقاً من ذلك، "قام الجيش بعمل استباقي قبل بضعة ايام ليتمكن من رصد تحركات المسلحين عبر التلال الاستراتيجية التي دخل اليها في جرود رأس بعلبك"، وفقاً للمصادر عينها.
وخلال يومي الخميس والجمعة، شنّ الجيش هجوما على المسلحين في جرود بلدة رأس بعلبك موقعا إصابات مباشرة في صفوفهم ما مكّنه من السيطرة على التلتين، في عملية وصفها بـ"السريعة" وسقط له فيها ثلاثة جرحى، بحسب بيان صادر عن قيادة الجيش.
يُشار الى ان الجيش ينفّذ انتشاراً واسعاً في جرود عرسال ويتصدى للمسلحين والمتسللين، خصوصاً اثر المعركة التي خاضها مع مسلحي "داعش" و"جبهة النصرة" في الثاني من شهر آب الفائت.

lol mowaten, you have some serious inferiority complex issues, always barking pointlessly and trying to convince yourself that everybody is stupid and you're the smart one, yet you were never able to make an articulate argument or point. The best you ever do is call names, yell a few read-made lines you heard daddy say, and add "HAHAHAHA" before or after it as if this makes them facts. Habibi, if you want to make a point be a big boy and provide supporting sources yourself, or ask your daddy where it came from

It is estimated there are between 30,000-50,000 shiite foreign terrorists including afghanis, pakistanis, iranians, and lebanese shias fighting along assad criminal forces. A simple search would yield hundreds of articles on this issue. Here is a report from LBCI:

eaglyawn: reposting my comments out of context makes you look like a fool
anonyme: you're diverting towards an unrelated issue, what brought afghan volunteers here?
lubanini.takfiri: and may they become 100,000 and a million even, why not? why is it only okay for fanatics from saudia, turkey, the UK, the US germany, tunisia, chechnya etc... to go to syria to slaughter "infidels", but wrong for other volunteers to go there to help defend against the takfiri bloody urges?
16:43 ,2015 آذار 03

pathetic indeed.... mowaten brought in his reinforcements and fake accounts to insult people who put him to the task.
18:03 ,2015 آذار 03

wow... what kind of neurotic mind does it take to make those kind of haphazard connections? Must be a hell of a mess inside your head, wouldnt want to be you mate...
Anyway, let me try to disentangle it for you (my good deed of the day):
1- I was discussing with eagleyawn, not you.
2- We were discussing the way he dismisses any information regarding takfiris and their threat, as if he believes it does not exist.
3- You attacked me first (quite childishly actually. "ya zakzak"? lol), not the other way around
4- the fact that there were volunteers in syria fighting against the takfiris was never denied, by me, the hezb, or iran. The claims that they were recruited by the iranian government however are still as unfounded as they were a year ago when they were alleged by the wall street journal.
18:15 ,2015 آذار 03

If you knew the first thing about afghan shias, you'd know they've been persecuted for centuries by extremists very similar to the takfiris we see today in syria. They were called infidels, slaughtered by the thousands and expelled from their homeland. It started long before the rise of the taliban and half of the hazara population is now refugees in countries surrounding afghanistan.
Do you think after all this they need someone to "recruit" them when they see the same thing happening again in syria? Why do you find it normal that american christians go voluntarily fight alongside christian militias or the YPG, but these afghans who were persecuted for decades need 500$/month from iran to volunteer?
18:26 ,2015 آذار 03
51
So "denying the credibility of Al Diyar" is not the same as dismissing the information contained in Al Diyar's article? That's a true face-palm moment here anonyme...
As for the second part of your comment, I answered you even before you wrote it. cf my comment above.
18:27 ,2015 آذار 03

look at point 4 specifically, i already knew you were going to refer to the wall street journal. (you're so predictable it's not even funny)
18:29 ,2015 آذار 03

if you want to educate yourself a little, i suggest you read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Hazara_people
it will go a long way in making you understand why they dont need anybody to recruit them or give them money to want to fight the plague of takfirism.

You're bordering hysteria and of extremely bad faith anonyme, as you usually become once confronted with facts and logic.
There is no point in wasting more of my time with you (not that there ever was) especially that everything has been said above, and your diversions and turning in circles bore me to death.
You may read again what I said if you wish to understand my point, because you obviously haven't, but if you are determined to remain this way there is nothing I can do about it.
19:38 ,2015 آذار 03

listen to mowaten's logic or lack of it. So because you claim shia afghanis were persecuted in their country that in your distorted mind gives them the right to go to Syria and fight for Assad... Are they fighting in Syria those who persecuted them...? They are in Syria because they are driven by hate, because they are sectarians just like you.
19:53 ,2015 آذار 03
41
I never said they have the "right", but I said they have sufficient reasons to want to do it without needing to be recruited by anyone or given a measly 500$/month.
And yes, those are the same people, with the same ideology and the same backers they are fighting. In afghanistan, pakistan, iraq or syria, it all boils down to the same wahhabi-inspired, gulf-funded, takfiri-minded brutal sectarian genocidal maniacs.

Anyone supporting those terrorists must be eliminated, once and for all.. This is a red line, no discussions.. like the world is round, there are some who still believe it is flat in our part of the world!! Trillions of petro USD last 6 decades have failed to produce an educated population in the Persian gulf. It has fueled extremism and on the other hand launched a generation that only knows how to shop and consume.. Unfortunately that lifestyle and lack of education has spread to the Levant.

Let this filth called IS, Al Nusra and Al Jursa try, this time they will know what kind of wood we use to heat ourselves. This time let the army hit them real hard, show NO mercy and need be let every Lebanese citizen be on high alert and be ready to fight alongside our army. This is why I keep repeating to some of our brothers on this forum, to brothers who lately have not been kind to me, that we must ALL put our differences aside, to UNITE, that's right, you read me, unite, and stand side by side to fight the enemies of Lebanon. I repeat, side by side and NOT each one pulling in different directions. If we Lebanese are united, who can stand in front of us, ya 3ammeh, we will eat them alive.

(1). Mowaten, you're behaving like a spoilt child or at least giving such an impression, or maybe it's your ingrained if not insidious cultural level of intolerance to criticism. It is my right to criticize whomever I wish, a man of my age does not dispense opinion so lightly if you need reminding. You're making it look as if Aoun your ally and by default a clown is above criticism, or even worse, Hezbollah that was once a glorious and loved Resistance now turned an army of mercenaries for rent. Both entities are not beyond criticism because of their repeated proscribed acts, so if we do not act as sentinels against proscription, who will? Your partisans or those of your FPM allies of sheepish obedience? Mowaten, ask yourself and this applies to all of you guys at HA/FPM incorporated, why are more and more people getting alienated from you people, why? Isn't your failure to detect my goodwill, hence my call for national unity not above all other consideration?

(2). Think well my dear brother before you allay blame in such atypical ways, I hold no ill wish towards anyone, certainly not against Hezbollah or the FPM or Aoun, I just am sick and tired of speaking to walls, deaf and dumb walls. It is meaningful and durable solutions I am looking for as a Lebanese citizen, all directed at what I still deem as a national partner, and not parrot chants as you seem to suggest.
16:47 ,2015 آذار 03

Phoenix let's skip the endless prose and cut to the chase: when you call hezbollah "an army of mercenaries for rent", knowing full well this is not true, you're not criticizing, nor "extending a hand" nor being open for dialogue. You're simply being insulting, disdainful and provocative. This kind of attitude and talk is what keeps people alienated.
Without respect, without understanding there can be no unity, and what you're showing is not "goodwill" it's basically saying we're all evil, wrong, mislead or "obedient sheep", but you're so magnanimous you'd "forgive us" if we were to repent and follow your views which you seem to take for some sort of absolute truth.
15:16 ,2015 آذار 03

Yes, wait until they knock at your door, certainly when you see them face to face you'll change your mind. You'll suddenly decide you want to "unite" with those you kept insulting all your life hoping they'll come and save your sorry behind.

How will you unite with us Phoenix? You are among those who smear the Resistance, when you do that then I start history lessons about the Lebanese Forces/Phalangists which you dislike. Sure we can unite together in the LAF. Then first you have to act like it, then I will follow, I seek we should destroy the takfiris by uniting with the Syrian Army, you don't want that ofcourse you rather want to wait for Saudi deals and U.S scrap forever.

(1). Mystic, meet me halfway and I'll meet you halfway. Didn't I include in my posts that we need to desist from all of us pulling in different directions? Was I or was I not alluding to every single political entity in Lebanon? Aren't such dynamics now causing us serious harm already? No brother, no ya habibi ya akhi, I am not smearing Hezbollah, Hezbollah did it all to itself and very proficiently trust me. You tell me ya akhil habib, how many times have people warned HA from abstaining into another wild venture, Syria for reminders? Where did such advise fall but on deaf ears? wasn't your agenda more that of a debt repayment than ideological ones there? Or maybe more sinister calculations could it be? OK, now we need not ponder too much on spilled ink nor on spilled blood either, Syria will somehow splodge it way out of this mess,how would it come out of it is beyond us all, but like all things human, this tragedy will end, one way or the other.

(2) Mystic. As I said, now the onus should be our focus on now, the present, and how we can build our national capacities as a people, as a nation, and as a country that should survive the onslaught of IS and beyond IS. The ideological equation is now past us all, Hezbollah, or Mustaqbal, or Kataeb, or LF, or FPM or Marada, PSP, all of Lebanon's parties will dent zilch the shield of the threat that is about to befall us if we do not close ranks, and for good reasons. We are now well past petty considerations or thinking, we MUST start by working as one nation and most possibly this would be our main instigator to free us from our shackles, yes, those shackles that have emasculated us to the point we make no more sense these days.
16:16 ,2015 آذار 03

(3). Mystic. I repeat, me, a diehard LF fighter, and one that is still fully capable on the battle ground, look at just how many times I have extended the hand of fraternity to you people, do you think I am alone in this? Has not Saad Hariri been doing this for a long time now and albeit until recently, how many times have you belittled his noble positions priorly? M14 is a political rival and NOT your enemy, M14 and M8 need each other, they both need to work closely from now on. It is not Bachar Al Assad, nor Obama that will bring us salvage from the hands of the savages but us Lebanese. Would it have been thinkable in war years that an LFer says he wishes no harm to Hezbollah, or a Hezbollah partisan talking as a sibling to an LFer? This is how it should have been ages ago, take my goodwill in good faith, then we can all move ahead, but continue labeling me and people like me, we will all surely die as absolute fools. I hope my message gets to you without any further distortion.

Phoenix your message would get to me, if you weren't such a hypocrite on this matter ya 7abibi. You seek Lebanese Unity, something that is very hard to achieve these days, yet you still smear the Resistance & FPM on other articles today, it is not a step forward phoenix, you are moving backwards.
What did LF do these days, to prevent the takfiris from entering Lebanon? You do not want to cooperate with the Syrians, you wish for the U.S coalition to enter Lebanon probaly alongside IDF to combat the takfiris they themselves fund everyday.
Geagea is a terrorist himself, and then he keeps on saying that the Resistance is a terrorist group alongside ISIS, he is a power hungry Judas, seeking dollars and titles instead of focusing on the threat at our borders.
Regarding the LAF, yes phoenix we agree on that matter, I believe too all Lebanese should stand behind them against these takfiris. What about Rifi the another terrorist, that denied any takfiri presence in Lebanon?

(1). My dear Tex. A big thanks for a great response, much of what you wrote I cannot deny either. However and to be honest in front of my maker and the public, our brothers Mowaten and Mystic, they too have written some things which we should not ignore either. If you read part 3 of my response to Mystic, you will see that I said that our salvation will come from no other place than from us Lebanese. Iran, Syria, Israel, the US, the EU, they all have their priorities, hence their policies of priorities, quite possibly we Lebanese don't take much paper-space in their books. This is why I keep extolling my siblings from Hezbollah and from the FPM too, to remove that thick veil that is preventing our mutual understanding M8/M14.
16:31 ,2015 آذار 03

(2) Tex. Once we come to the fact that no one really cares for us Lebanese as a nation, must we continue servicing an umbilical cord that is now well gangrened and decayed for the good of our country? I say not, we must now disengage and renege with habits of old and reconcile with the best habit, that of national unity, all based on mutual trust and respect, hence a healthy and continuous dialog between all sides. If we look well at our capacities as a people, I can tell you this with the utmost confidence, that we have some formidable strength to us, Hezbollah, LF, all parties confounded, only if we work as a team with our noble army. Trust me Tex, we are all about to face evil, an evil like never seen before. This evil is color-blind, flavor-blind, this evil thirsts for blood.

(3). Tex. In Iraq, IS and its allies are now in reverse gear, in parts of Syria too, in Lebanon our army has snubbed and rubbed its nose real hard. Boko Haram is also facing reverses of its own in West Africa, so we all fear that these evil forces will try to pierce one front and that is Lebanon's. I fully trust our army, it is capable and it's fighting like Lions. But our army mustn't be left alone in this atrocious war, our unity will give it a firm and renewed sense of purpose, knowing that the people they are dying for are worthy of their ultimate sacrifice. Then, there may come the need for the people's participation into this war effort, thus our a united people can put up such a formidable stance. May God put in us all that sense of patriotism and our distancing all of us from dangerous habits.

Why is HA fighting in Aleppo, Damascus and Golan areas when they contend that ISIS/NUSRA are on our borders getting ready to attack Lebanese villages in Bekaa?
It seems to me that HA then should be guarding the Lebanese/Syrian borders (on the Syrian side of the border, because I want the LAF take care of the Lebanese side of the borders) to prevent such attacks.
17:11 ,2015 آذار 03

they're already securing the lebanese/syrian border, but as long as there are takfiri nests at the four corners of syria we will never have peace. if the US can go halfway across the globe to (allegedly/pre-emptively) bomb people they see as threats (with or without the consent of the authorities in the countries they bomb) why HA shouldnt be able to go a couple of hundred kilometers passed the border, especially when they have the full blessing and support of syria?

Michel Aoun testifying in front of the House Committee on International Relations - September 18/2003
One cannot rationally dissociate the Syrian regime from terrorism. It provides safe haven for a myriad of terrorist organizations, directs their operations, and uses occupied Lebanon as their main field of training and operation. Like an organized crime syndicate which uses fear, intimidation, and violence as instruments of pressure to buy silence from otherwise good and honorable people, it uses these terrorist organizations as instruments of pressure in a foreign policy strategy that has earned for Syria a "no questions asked" attitude from the free world. Perceived cooperation in the war on terrorism does not represent a strategic choice on the part of the Syrian regime to combat terrorism; it is only a tactical and temporary ploy to dodge responsibility for the central role that It's has in sponsoring terrorism.

Michel Aoun testifying in front of the House Committee on International Relations - September 18/2003
Following a Syrian withdrawal, it is quite conceivable that it will leave behind many of its instruments of terror and destruction as well as its paramilitary/intelligence apparatus. Therefore, it is imperative that it's withdrawal be accompanied by a complete disarmament of all armed elements. Only the legitimate armed forces of Lebanon can be entrusted with providing security to the Lebanese people. They are certainly capable of doing so when provided with a strong political leadership duly elected by the Lebanese themselves, rather than appointed by an occupying power as is the case today. Equally important, Lebanon will need certified tribunals to investigate and bring to justice all criminals who committed war atrocities and crimes against humanity.
