Marouni: Lebanese Army Should Have Led Arsal Battles
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Kataeb MP Elie Marouni stressed on Wednesday that the battles on the outskirts of Arsal against Syria's al-Qaida affiliate al-Nusra Front terrorists should have been led by the command of the Lebanese army instead of Hizbullah.
"The Lebanese state was absent from those battles, the war and peace decision was in Hizbullah's hand," the lawmaker said in an interview with al-Fajr radio station.
"The Lebanese army was not the decision maker in that battle, especially that the military statements were issued by Hizbullah's war media unit," he emphasized.
Hizbullah waged a battle against Nusra in a bid to oust the militants from the outskirts of Arsal.
The battle ended with a swap deal between Hizbullah and Syria's al-Nusra Front group that saw the transfer of scores of Nusra militants and their families- from Lebanon's Arsal outskirts to Syria.
The deal included the release of three Hizbullah fighters captured by al-Nusra during their battle against the group last month.

I am full aware that you want the LAF to be the only ones fighting, so that they can be slaughtered by Israel and the Salafis.
Well think again, if our men can see the Army suffering and they call for aid. Then the Resistance will step in and support their Lebanese Army brothers against your Salafi groups.
I have family members in the LAF ranks stationed in Bekaa.
I care more about them and their safety, than your God forsaken salafi demands.

8 minutes ago Al-Manar: Sayyed Nasrallah will make a televised address at 8:30 pm Thursday in which he will address the phase that follows the liberation of Arsal's outskirts.
The Supreme Leader will address the phase that follows the 'liberation' of Arsal's outskirts and not the Lebanese government.
Banana Republic.

Nusra (AlQaeda) and IS (AlQaeda Extreme) has no place in Lebanon. I don't care which Lebanese party pushed out, they have to be pushed out. There should be zero foreign people with arms on our land. I don't always agree with Hizballah, but that is internal Lebanese political debate that will go on. I would respect anyone's opinion as long as they respect mine

if you do not want anybody to occupy your land, then do not occupy anybody's land. Your hezbollah is not an internal lebanese problem simply because it is not a lebanese party.
"There should be zero foreign people with arms on our land."
I believe the syrian people would also agree with you regarding their land.
