Explosive Devices Discovered Near Jounieh Hospital
Two hand grenades and a landmine were found near Notre Dame Hospital in Jounieh, north of Beirut, media reports said Friday.
The grenades and the mine were discovered in a bucket, they said.
Security forces immediately cordoned off the area although they were old and not set to detonate, they added.
The hospital’s director Dr. Fawzi Odaimi told Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) that the situation is under control and the security forces resolved the incident.
LBC TV said security forces are inspecting cameras installed near the hospital.
The Army Command later issued a statement confirming the discovery of the landmine and two hand grenades, adding that they were old and not prepared to be detonated.
A specialized unit has since taken the explosives to detonate them at al-Mghaiteh field in Dahr al-Baydar, it said.

Very well-said; it's ridiculous. It's not the Wild West of Yemen, but Lebanon is a pocket of fire~and such a beautiful country with such diversity and sweetness of people, haram.

We should stop blaming others including this incompetent government and corrupt law enforcement...
Every person in this country considers themselves above the law for some reason. We complain about the governments and these clowns that are running it and yet we keep voting for these characters and cheer for them... Lost Cause...o
The degree of lawlessness in Lebanon has become appauling. Bank robberies now in broad day light; gun fire that erupts from small disputes and escalate on several occasions. Blatant and repeated violations of the border by the neighboring Assad Regime that goes unanswered by authorities in Lebanon.
There is a new culture that has grown up under the M8 FPM/Hezbollah Regime whereby there is no law. Hezbollah is an outlaw party that exists outside of the constitution, yet it controls the government.
The people are left with the proposition that if the head of the government does not follow the law, why should they? Thus this lawless Wild West culture in Lebanon. It is the worst government ever in Lebanon even when there was no government it was better than this.
