Charbel Says Drone Above Maarab Israeli

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Caretaker Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said on Saturday that an alleged drone spotted hovering over the residence of Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea in Maarab is believed to be Israeli.

Charbel considered that this type of unmanned aircraft could carry a missile that weighs around 200 or 300 kilograms.

According to al-Joumhouria newspaper published on Saturday, Charbel revealed that a report by the Internal Security Forces confirmed that a drone was seen with the naked eye above the residence of Geagea.

On Tuesday, Charbel said that the “matter isn't a joke.”

He stressed that the necessary measures should be taken to protect Maarab and those who are targeted in assassination attempts, noting that the possible use of anti-aircraft fire was discussed to shoot down the drone.

The Lebanese Forces said earlier this month that a drone was spotted carrying out flights over Maarab for a period of time.

Last week, LF informed the army anew that guards sighted the unmanned aircraft again on Friday.

Guards described the aircraft as white and resembles a drone, adding that it flew at a law altitude and caused unusual sounds.

Geagea had escaped an assassination attempt by snipers as he was taking a walk in the garden of his Maarab residence in April 2012.

"is believed to be Israeli"… Charbel has adopted the official response of the Glorious Axis.

Shameful for a minister to make such claims. The plane was not even picked up by LAF antiquated radar systems for him to make such a silly claim.

so israeli drones can be detected by the LAF, but not others?

@mckinl: How many gold medals you think the resistance' slalom skiers will get in Sochi?

Thumb general_puppet 08 February 2014, 10:34

I do not know about the skiers but the Iranian militia's 600 metre military rifle team should do well as long as they are allowed to shoot from behind civilians.

What an incredible logic you have where Israelis intend to kill Geagea, their long-term ally. The same logic that is making you believe that the 15 officials belonging to M14 where killed by the Zionists as well....The most important is to keep apart Hezbollah from all the assassinations....:)

Thumb cedars2 08 February 2014, 12:34

That drone was mystic dressed in white self elevated by his own hot air carrying a high power camera trying to spy on our Hakim!!

Allah yihmik ya Hakim ya habib il mallayeen!!

Thumb kanaanljdid 08 February 2014, 13:12

I remember that the Hizb became an expert in sending drones over the South of the Zionist State, as they claimed not a long time ago. So they are not able to send a drone in Lebanon? Our country is more secured than Israel?

Thumb ex-fpm 08 February 2014, 13:32

It seems sovereignty is sect, area, and party specific according to you. Selective sovereignty is something new to Lebanon's already crumbling values.

"is believed to be Israeli. " is believed to be .... that says it all... so if anything happened M8ers will cheer up and say : see! we told you!
they are preparing their sheep with brainwashing so they will directly point to israel as usual! LOL

but evidence? none as usual....

Missing peace 08 February 2014, 14:25

"since the accusation against Hezb through the STL has failed."

LOL the trial is just at the beginning, wait and see before wishing it is true!
but even with hard evidence you d say it is fabricated... typical from losers...

@Jaafar: Please, refrain from insulting your fellow posters. If you want to act like a father figure, you need to stay away from insults, sectarian rhetoric, respect opposing point of views, and stay cool, calm and collected. I am not going to vote you down this time in the hope this will act as an incentive for you to improve your online social skills.

I remember a few months back last year, I'm jogging my memory a group (I won't name for censorship reason)

Claimed to have successfully flown an unarmed plane over Israel. Could it be the same equipment used over to Maarab Hmmm?

Why is no one mentioning this?

Default-user-icon Elias (Guest) 09 February 2014, 02:35

The only fact that it disturbs u so much that some think it´s a hizballah´s drone shows that you are one of those brainwashed kids. Why do you want it so much go be a israeli one ? where did you read that they identified it as an israeli one ? Who told you that Charbel wasn't just giving his own opinion about it as an M8 politician or was just triyng to cool down the tension between lebanese as the interior minister. Isn't hezballah accused of the murder of march 14 figures ? Doesn't own drones ? So why couldn't be it ? Apply those lessons your trying to gice to others to yourself boy.

Missing cedars 09 February 2014, 04:25

That proves that harriri as Hezbollah claimed was assassinated from the air. You see every assassination was executed by Israel to create rife between Lebanese. Even Gibran and May were intended to be eliminated from the air. Cut the BS these drones are thé same as the ones that were sent over to Israel by HA last year and got shot down by IDF

It is the duty of HA to protect all political figures from the aggression of Israel.
