Report: Security Plan Underway to Control Bekaa Chaos

W460

Classic security plans are “no longer feasible” after the situation in the eastern Bekaa region "deteriorated to unprecedented levels" where the Lebanese army prepares to implement a “strict security” plan, al-Joumhouria daily reported on Wednesday.

Senior military sources revealed to the daily “the army is in the process of preparing for a painful blow to lawless and security abusers. The plan will be beyond traditional,” they said.

“Preparations are in full swing, we just need some time because the area to be covered by the operation is broad and must be briefed from all sides,” added the source who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Security conditions occasionally deteriorate in the Bekaa district of Baalbek-Hermel where reports of crime, theft and gunfire are not uncommon. Residents of the area have long demanded a solution for the rampant chaos in their city.

Conditions deteriorated further in May and reports of shootouts, and revenge operations --a phenomenon that tribes cling to as one of the old customs-- were reported.

“The army will not stand idle and watch the security deteriorate in Bekaa. Its decisive move has become a matter of only a short time,” affirmed the source.

You don't talk about security plans in the press and give the thousands of outlaws time to preempt all the security measures.

The plan will fail like the 20 other plans before it. The problem is not in the plan but in the armed militia that has power in the Bekaa region; Hezbollah.

There shall be no security or peace in Lebanon unless the filth that is called hezbollah is eliminated.

If you want a read army, you need a real government, and for that you need real elections.

If you want a read(sic) argument, you need real facts, and for that you need a real brain.

Mao expelled the foreign influence and feudalism. (Han Su Yin's biography) Trump is disabling the fascist establishment in the US but without stating the rationale. Racism is suicidal. Lebanon as a failed-state-by-design is the keystone to Israel, likewise. Until Israel is no longer a crusade, pun intended, for US patriots, law will continue to be undermined by the US convention of speaking falsely in the name of God and the people while devastating the planet. The lynch mob is the fascist modus operandi; to stop it you must stand in its way until it disperses, and the people come to their senses. Lebanon is the sheriff's porch; we're aimin' to avoid a shootout, but will accept one. Are you with us?
