Party Samir Geagea
... Geagea was imprisoned by the Syrians and their puppets for 11 years in a dungeon in the third basement level of the Lebanese Ministry of Defense. He was released after the Cedar Revolution in 2005 ...
warned on Sunday that "it is unacceptable to put Leb in front of the possibility of a devastating war" amid regional tensions.

"What remains of a state status and a powerful era, if the strategic decision in the hands of parties outside the state institutions," Geagea.

"We do not understand on what standards one of the Lebanese parties today wants to push Leb and its people into the confrontation between the United States and Iran," he added.

On Sunday, Hezbollah said its fighters destroyed an Israeli military vehicle, killing or wounding those inside. There was no immediate word from the Israeli military on any casualties.

Geagea also called in a tweet upon President Michel Aoun
...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
"to take a clear, firm and transparent position regarding this matter."

Israel has been on alert for a possible confrontation with Hezbollah for the past week after drones attacked what security officials in the region described as a target in a Beirut suburb linked to precision-guided missile projects.
