Intensified Security Measures in Hizbullah Strongholds After Nasrallah’s Revelations
The Hizbullah leadership is taking unprecedented security measures in Beirut’s southern suburbs, the Bekaa and the south, a French strategic news website has said.
TTV site said Friday that around 100 Iranian explosives experts have arrived in the suburbs accompanied by trained dogs over fears that Hizbullah would be targeted by explosions.
The fears rose after Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah claimed that U.S. and Israeli intelligence agents had penetrated the party’s ranks.
March 14 general-secretariat coordinator Fares Soaid reiterated on Saturday that Beirut’s southern suburbs are outside the control of the state.
“Or else let them deny what the French website TTV said about 100 explosives experts had entered the area with their police dogs,” he told LBC TV network.
