إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq has urged President Michel Aoun on Thursday to hold intensive meetings with political and security officials in order to control the deteriorating security situation in the eastern Bekaa town of Baalbek.
“I have asked President Michel Aoun to hold successive intensive meetings with political and security officials in order to put an end to the rampant chaos in Baalbek,” Mashnouq told reporters after the meeting.
He said the situation in the city has become “unacceptable.”
The meeting focusing mainly on the latest aggravating clashes in the region was held in the presence of Baalbek-Hermel governor Bachir Khodr.
The National News Agency reported later during the day that a man identified by his initials as Aa.S.,aka Sniper, has fired gunshots at a store in the old market in Baalbek and efforts are underway to arrest the perpetrator.
Armed clashes erupt frequently in the city in the absence of practical security measures by the Lebanese security forces and army to prevent further deterioration.

I totally agree with you. My relative is a high ranking officer in the LAF and he summarizes the situation in Baalbek as follows:
1) No security appointments (ISF, Intelligence, and Army) in the area can be made without Hezbollah/Amal approval. In essence, they are all Hezbollah appointees.
2) Many if not all of the drug lords, criminals, thugs, kidnappers, car thieves are relatives of these appointees.
3) The security appointees are on the payroll of these criminals and outlaws.
4) The majority of these criminals are members/supporters of Hezbollah and Amal.
5) No security personnel wants to take a decision that would upset these two terrorist organizations for fear it would earn him a veto which would impact his career in the army/ISF.
There is no solution except the total destruction of hezbollah.
