In a statement to LBCI’s Nharkom Said, Riachi tackled the suicide bombings that targeted the eastern border town of al-Qaa and their repercussions, pointing out that the town’s residents are coordinating with the Lebanese Armed Forces and placed themselves at the disposal of the army.
He also rejected the statement saying that Hezbollah protected Lebanon through its intervention in Syria.
On another note, Riachi admitted that there is a dispute between the Lebanese Forces and Hezbollah over the issue of “illegal arms.”
“We do our job within the framework of legitimacy to protect the republic, not under the principle of self-security,” he stated.
