REPORT: Minister of Justice Rifi says army should not be lectured by “militias” about Arsal’s security situation
Minister of Justice Achraf Rifi stressed on Tuesday that the border town of Arsal is a “patriotic town,” noting that the Lebanese army should not be lectured by “militias” about controlling the security situation there.
 
Rifi’s comments were made after meeting a popular delegation from Arsal.
 
“We won't allow anyone to insult Arsal or implement regional agendas and everyone knows the martyrs of Arsal's people in the fight against Israel and many of its residents are soldiers in the Lebanese army,” Rifi added.
 
Tensions surged lately in the northern Bekaa region after several Baalbek and Hermel tribes announced the formation of the so called al-Qalaa Brigade and said they are ready to intervene militarily in Arsal's outskirts against extremist militants if Hezbollah gives them the green light.
 
“The army is patrolling the town Arsal the same way as it does in any other region in Lebanon. We back the state, the army and the institutions and against the statelet (of Hezbollah),” Rifi concluded by saying.
