Geagea Urges Authorities to Pin Down Rocket Attackers
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Sunday urged Lebanese authorities to identify the side that fired Katyusha rockets on northern Israel.
"The government does not condemn; it takes action," Geagea said during a chat with reporters Sunday.
"The problem lies in the lack of knowledge of the state and the Lebanese army in an incident of this magnitude and without being at the heart of a specific strategy adopted by the state," Geagea went on.
He said Saturday”s rocket attack on Israel did have an impact on the Jewish state, but had a negative impact on Lebanon.
"Who is supposed to stop rocket firing from south Lebanon?" Geagea asked, pointing to a "gap that needs to be filled as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, the Lebanese citizen would more and more feel that he doesn”t live in a state that can protect him," he warned.
"Lebanese authorities should pin down the side responsible for the rocket firing because, from one hand, we want to know who did this act, and from the other, so that Lebanese territory would not remain lawless," Geagea said.
