Security Sources: Hizbullah Committed to Security Plan after Losing Control over its Supporters

Hizbullah is committed to the month-long security plan that is being implemented by the state security agencies after it found itself “unable to control its supporters and started suffering the symptoms that affected the Palestinian resistance.”

Security sources told LBC Friday that “Hizbullah is committed to the security plan due to the state of corrosion its environment is suffering, which has caused chaos and lawlessness.”

Interior Minister Marwan Charbel announced Wednesday the beginning of a one-month security plan aimed at restoring stability.

“Hizbullah is unable to control those who were considered to be its supporters, so it threw the ball in the state’s court to accomplish this mission,” the sources said, pointing out that several statesmen consider that the party is showing the “Arafat syndrome that previously led the Palestinian resistance to chaos and anarchy.”

However, the sources revealed that political parties were advised “to take advantage of what could be described as a relatively calm situation, awaiting the outcome of the Syrian developments.”

The sources pointed out that "all Lebanese parties informed the security agencies of their responsiveness to the security plan, particularly in terms of curbing all attempts to block streets.”

However, the sources acknowledged that Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir’s sit-in and blocking of the southern entrance of Sidon city “would sabotage the relative calm,” urging him to “reduce the intensity of his protest steps after he delivered his message to the leaders concerned.”
