REPORT: Central Security Council discusses latest security incidents in Lebanon
The Central Security Council convened on Tuesday at the Ministry of Interior under the chairmanship of Interior Minister Nouhad Mashnouq.

During the meeting, officials discussed the latest security incidents in Lebanon, as well as the necessary measures that should be implemented to confront terrorist attacks targeting the country.

In the same regard, Mashnouq told LBCI that the country’s security situation is reassuring; stressing that Lebanon will not become another Iraq.

“The security forces are on full alert and will assume all their duties,” he added.

Syria's conflict, which started in March 2011 with peaceful protests against President Bashar al-Assad's rule and became an armed rebellion after a government crackdown, has left more than 160,000 people killed.

Hezbollah has been fighting alongside Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces against the mainly Sunni Muslim rebels, who have also been supported by Lebanese Sunnis.

The conflict has spilled over into sectarian violence in Lebanon, with rocket attacks on Shiite towns in the Bekaa Valley, close to the border with Syria, and bombings of Shiite and Sunni targets in Lebanon's main coastal cities.

Syria's conflict has re-aggravated sectarian strife in Lebanon where gunbattles, car bombs and rocket attacks linked to Syria have killed scores of Lebanese and revived memories of the country's own 15-year civil war that formally ended in 1990.
