Report: Safety Precautions Upped in Dahiyeh amid Terror Plot Report
In the last 48 hours, security measures have been upped in several areas around the country, mainly in Beirut's southern suburbs of Dahiyeh, amid information that some terror acts have been planned to shake the country's safety, al-Joumhouria daily reported Monday.
Security sources did not deny the measures, but were keen not to disclose the reasons or details behind them, added the daily.
However, it has been reported that security forces succeeded in arresting suspects who confessed that some terror groups are preparing to carry out an assault in Dahiyeh and in locations that observe presence of Hizbullah, it added.
A senior security who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the daily: “The situation is under control. Today it is better than ever. The military and security agencies are doing their job.”
In that regard, Speaker Nabih Berri hailed the efforts of the Lebanese army and security forces “who succeeded in saving Lebanon from terror and miseries,” he said.
Recently, security forces busted a terrorist cell loyal to fugitive militant Shadi al-Mawlawi and the jihadist al-Nusra Front group.
They were charged with plotting to stage terrorist acts on New Year's Eve; blow up booby-trapped cars in Beirut, Tripoli and Dahiyeh; assassinating incumbent and retired officers; and targeting civilian gatherings.

It is funny how they said that the terrorist was attacking lebanon, when the hezb terrorists areas don't identify themselves as Lebanese or Lebanese territory.
over 7 years
and are we supposed to feel sorry for them?
As their president Assad just said, the bombardment is justified.
over 7 years
the bombardment is justified as long as it hits terrorists or zionists only but not civilians, learn how to distinguish if you can, short minded.
btw, save your feeling for your beloved zionist troops who were legitimetly killed in action yesterday, the Lebanese who live in Dahiyeh are fine....

How can the Lebanese agree to waste their tax dollars to put the army not internal forces around the Dahia to safeguard it meanwhile the Dahia men are fighting for Assad outside Dahia and in Syria?
The army is protecting their children and women while men is in palmyra-Syria. Why deploying the army in a section of Beirut that does not pay for electricity or water or any other tax. Such as building illegally.
