Report: Hizbullah Installs Telecom Network in Zahle after Tarshish Failure

Hizbullah expanded its telecommunications network in several towns in the district of Zahle after its project failed in the Metn town of Tarshish, highly informed sources told al-Mustaqbal newspaper.

The sources said Thursday that the installment was made in the towns of Riyaq, Hawsh Hala and Hay al-Sellom several days ago.

The new move came after Hizbullah’s attempt to expand its “illegitimate telecom system failed in Tarshish,” they told the daily.

Last month, Hizbullah’s efforts to install the private telecoms network in the town were thwarted by residents and representatives from the municipality.

The dispute came to an end mid-November when the telecommunications ministry assured Tarshish residents that no private networks will be installed along with the ministry’s network.
