Higher Defense Council: President Sleiman gave directives to preserve all security institutions

The Higher Defense Council held a meeting on Sunday in the Baabda palace during which President Michel Sleiman gave directions to preserve all security institutions.

Sleiman also insisted on arming the Lebanese Armed Forces and seeking the adoption of the defense strategy.

The heads of security apparatuses briefed members of the Higher Defense Council over the security measures taken in Tripoli and Bekaa regions.

The security plan was first implemented in the northern city of Tripoli in an attempt to put an end to the clashes that frequently erupt between the city's rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen.

It was then implemented in the Bekaa region, with the security forces cracking down on gunmen, car theft gangs, and other fugitives.
