إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Lebanese army succeeded on Friday in thwarting six gunmen from entering Lebanon through the northeastern border town of Arsal, killing two, while the rest escaped, revealed al-Joumhouria newspaper on Saturday.

A military source told the daily: “The army is tightening the noose around the gunmen on Arsal's outskirts.”

“It is taking all measures that would protect the region,” it added.

“The army has succeeded in stopping all infiltration attempts” from Syria, it continued.

On Friday, Hizbullah also stopped an armed group from infiltrating Lebanese territories from an area between al-Alali and al-Abyad mountains in the eastern mountain range.

The army frequently shells the positions of gunmen situated on the porous Lebanese-Syrian border, halting their advancement towards Lebanese territory.

Look around you. The whole world is advancing while Ebola has brought Lebanon 100 years behind on the pretext of defending our dignity.
In the meanwhile you have destroyed the whole country. But of course this you cannot see and it doesn't matter to you...

So the attacks by takfiris are Hezbollah's fault? What about the attacks in Tunisia? No Hezbollah there! What about the attacks in Kuwait? No Hezbollah there! What about the attacks in Kobbane? Mosul? Sinjar?
Your propaganda line is being proven wrong every single day when takfiris attack people all over the world for no reason whatsoever and by finding pretexts for them and blaming those who are defending you, you are not only an ingrate, but also a filthy terrorist supporter. tfeh 3aleik.

Attacks by takfiris may or may not be HA's fault. But Lebanon's diminished sovereignty and social backwardness have a lot to do with HA's culture (which is not too different from that of the takfiris)

I hope that when our army catches these sobs, to hang them on the spot and in public. Let them be drowned in the same way they drowned those poor victims that IS executed some days ago by drowning, let them put them in boiling water and burn some of them too. No mercy should be shown to the adepts of Satan Ibliss.
