It "kicked off a series of pivotal and deterring measures in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
, Sidon, Beirut, Beqaa and Mount Leb."

"We urge the Lebanese to be vigilant against any scheme that plans to drag Leb into an illogical war. They must be aware of fabrications made by some political and religious figures," it said, urging them to express their stances with peaceful democratic means away from provocations.
