Army Warns Against Persisting Quarrels

The Lebanese Army Command on Sunday warned against seriousness of the persisting “quarrels” stressing that it would not be lax in dealing with disorders.

 

The statement noted that “some partisans, zealots and agitators … have been gathering and making chants of challenge and support that develop into wrangling and quarrels with means of harm that result in a number of casualties and inflicting damage to private property, which raises concern of citizens and threatens their security and stability.”

 

It added that army units “intervene and disengage” the feuding faction in addition to “arresting rioters, conducting patrols and setting up checkpoints to reinforce security and prevent aggressions.”

 

“The Army command draws the attention to seriousness of what is happening that reflects the absence of national responsibility … it also urges citizens to remain at home or at work and refrain from taking part in gatherings … to avoid arrest on charges of agitation,” the statement added.
