Ibrahim and Saliba: signs of the return of murders

As a natural result of the political vacuum and economic crisis, fears for security stability have again escalated, amid rumors of a possible return to the era of assassinations. However, this fact, and before it, the loss of their livelihoods by the people, did not provoke any reaction at the political level. All parties at home and abroad are treating the formation of the government as a project postponed until after Joe Biden assumes the presidency of the United States.

The political vacuum is beginning to herald something worse. After the unprecedented economic collapse, the country was no longer lacking but concern about the security implications, about which it began to become more public. During the meeting of the Supreme Defense Council yesterday, security leaders expressed their fear that data on killings inside Lebanon are being prepared. Both the Director General of Public Security, Major General Abbas Ibrahim, and the Director General of State Security, Major General Tony Saliba, revealed the existence of information and security analysis indicating that the next stage will include political assassinations, speaking of a threat that threatens a specific political figure, but did not reveal any names “to avoid panic.”

These data are reportedly based on information from Western security services and others resulting from analysis of information on the ground. The analyzes indicated that the mass smuggling movement, generally between Iraq and Syria, began to increase towards Lebanon. As a result, security forces began to intensify their barriers in sensitive security areas. However, despite this analysis, relevant sources confirmed that there is no serious information to confirm these data, which is still under analysis.
In the context of security, Al-Akhbar also learned that Hezbollah is still on high alert in places and areas that could be a potential target for Israeli security actions.
