لليوم الثالث على التوالي تواصلت ردود الفعل الشعبية على الانفلات الأمني الذي شهدته مدينة بعلبك خصوصاً خلال الأيام الماضية، وأدى إلى مقتل شابين. وتداعت فعاليات المدينة إلى اجتماع عقد في دار البلدية حضره رئيس البلدية الدكتور حمد حسن وأعضاء من المجلس البلدي، مخاتير بعلبك، رئيس جمعية تجار بعلبك نصري عثمان، وممثلو جمعيات أهلية وهيئات المجتمع المدني. استهل اللقاء حسن مؤكداً أنّ أهالي بعلبك وأبناء قرى المنطقة عائلة واحدة، وأي مرتكب سواء من عائلة بعلبكية أو من قرى الجوار لا نستطيع أن نحمّل ارتكابه للجميع، فالمصيبة التي ألمّت بنا كبيرة، ولكن بوعي حكمائنا وعقلائنا سنتجاوز هذه المحنة وتداعياتها، ونمنع المصطادين في الماء العكر من العبث بأمننا. وبعد مداخلات من المشاركين في اللقاء، صدر بيان باسم المجتمعين، تلاه الدكتور سهيل رعد وجاء فيه: «نحن أبناء مدينة بعلبك بكامل أطيافها وممثليها جئنا نرفع الصوت تجاه كل المراجع الأمنية والقضائية والسياسية لتحمل مسؤولياتها ووضع حد للفلتان الأمني المتفاقم والمستفز، مذكرين بأن الحادث الأخير أدى إلى إراقة دماء شابين عزيزين في حادث فردي مؤسف بالقرب من مركز أمني رسمي». http://assafir.com/Article/8/449619

انشغلت طرابلس أمس بالمداهمات المتلاحقة التي نفذتها مديرية المخابرات في الجيش اللبناني وأدت الى توقيف 12 شخصا من الملتزمين دينيا، وذلك للاشتباه بانتمائهم الى مجموعات إرهابية، (بحسب بيان صدر عن قيادة الجيش ـ مديرية التوجيه بهذا الخصوص). تشير مصادر أمنية مطلعة لـ «السفير» الى أن كل الأجهزة في حالة استنفار كامل الى جانب الجيش اللبناني، في حين أن العيون الأمنية تراقب كل شاردة وواردة، وذلك في إطار الحرب الاستباقية والاحتياطية لأي تحرك يمكن أن يقوم به مشبوهون، مؤكدة أن المخاطر كبيرة في كل لبنان ولا يمكن التهاون مع أية معلومة يمكن أن ترد. وتقول هذه المصادر: إن الجهود التي تبذلها مخابرات الجيش مع الأجهزة الأمنية المعنية ساعدت خلال الفترة الماضية على تفكيك الكثير من الخلايا الارهابية التي كانت تستعد للاخلال بالأمن، إضافة الى قتل وتوقيف عدد كبير من مسؤولي ومشغلي هذه الخلايا وكان آخرهم أحمد كسحا الذي اعترف بما هو منسوب إليه من أعمال إرهابية وتقديم مساعدات لوجستية لارهابيين قبل توقيفهم وفي مقدمتهم الشيخ أحمد الأسير والشيخ خالد حبلص. وتشير معلومات أمنية إلى أن الموقوفين الـ 12 الذين ألقي القبض على 11 منهم دفعة واحدة خلال اجتماعهم في أحد المقاهي في محلة باب الرمل، ومن ثم تم توقيف شخص آخر بعد مداهمة منزله، صادرة بحقهم وثائق اتصال ومذكرات توقيف بناء على الاشتباه بقيامهم بإطلاق النار على الجيش، والتواصل مع مجموعات إرهابية، ومساعدة عدد من الفارين من وجه العدالة، لا سيما خلال معركة أسواق طرابلس، ونقل وحيازة أسلحة وإطلاق نار في اعتصامات مختلفة، فضلا عن التحريض على الجيش والترويج لتنظيمي «داعش» و «جبهة النصرة» على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي. وتقول هذه المعلومات إن ثلاثة أو أربعة أشخاص من الموقوفين قد يواجهون تهما حقيقية في هذا الاطار، أما الباقون فان تهمهم لا تتعدى تواجدهم في بعض التحركات والمعارك التي جرت سابقا، لكن ما لفت نظر مديرية المخابرات هو اجتماعاتهم الدورية بشكل يومي في أحد المقاهي في محلة باب الرمل، في حين يؤكد عدد من أبناء المنطقة أن الشبان يجتمعون منذ أشهر شأنهم في ذلك شأن كل رواد المقاهي في المناطق الشعبية، وهم يحملون فكرا إسلاميا متشددا كغيرهم أيضا، وليس بالضرورة أن يكونوا يعدون لعمل أمني ما، أما بالنسبة لوثائق الاتصال فهي تطال الآلاف من الشبان، وقد تم الاعلان عن إلغائها من قبل الحكومة اللبنانية لكن لا يزال العمل جاريا فيها. وكانت قوة من مديرية مخابرات الجيش مدعومة بقوة كبيرة من الجيش اللبناني، طوقت محلة باب الرمل وأقفلت كل المنافذ والمخارج فيها، وداهمت أحد المقاهي الشعبية وأوقفت 11 شخصا هم: طلال م.، عبدالكريم م.، أدهم ش.، محمود ع.، واصف ع.، طارق م.، محمد د.، محمود ن.، عبد الرحمن ش.، وليد ح.، عبيدة ع. وبعد عملية التوقيف الجماعية، نفذ الجيش سلسلة مداهمات حيث أوقف لاحقا محمد ع.، وعثر في منزله على بندقية وذخائر، كما داهم الجيش كل منازل الموقوفين الموزعة بين باب الرمل والأسواق ومحرم وأبي سمراء، وصادر من بعضها أسحة فردية وذخائر. وتم نقل الموقوفين الى فرع مخابرات الجيش في القبة حيث بوشرت التحقيقات معهم، ومن المفترض بعد انتهائها أن يبنى على الشيء مقتضاه. http://assafir.com/Article/8/448256 The army command said in a communique that a military unit arrested in the Bab al-Ramel area of the northern city of Tripoli on Wednesday night 12 Lebanese on suspicion of belonging to terrorist groups.

The Internal Security Forces said Wednesday they have apprehended 44 people of different nationalities as they attempted to flee toward Germany from the northern port of Tripoli. The refugees included 12 Palestinian men displaced from Syria, 17 Palestinian men living in Lebanon, three Palestinian women from Lebanon, a Palestinian woman displaced from Syria, four Ethiopian women, a Bangladeshi, two Syrian men, and four Palestinian children, the ISF said in a statement. Security sources told The Daily Star that the Palestinian men displaced from Syria were originally from the Yarmouk camp next to Damascus, and claimed that most of them staunchly oppose the Syrian government. Most had settled in the refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh in Sidon after arriving in Lebanon. The refugees were on a bus when they were arrested, waiting for the owner of the vessel to help them aboard, the sources said. The ISF then arrived on the scene and arrested everyone, including the owner of the boat. Security sources claim that this was not a rare incident but was rather occurring on a semi-regular basis. “The only reason they announced today’s operation was because of the large number of refugees captured,” the source told The Daily Star. The source also claimed that such incidents are not exclusive to Tripoli. Smuggling operations also take place in the coastal towns of Chekka and Enfeh. Other refugees board boats posing as fisherman. After making their way out to sea they are met by smugglers with larger boats, aboard which they try to make their way to various European havens, the sources said. The ISF and General Security have recorded several cases of boats ferrying asylum-seekers from Tripoli’s fishing port over the past two months. The vessels used for the journey are often quite small, but carry up to a hundred passengers. Many Syrian and Palestinian refugees have fled to Turkey in hopes of crossing the Aegean Sea to Greece, using it as a portal to reach the rest of Europe and seek asylum. Between 2011 and 2015 some 428,735 refugees have applied for asylum in Europe. Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, has taken in the EU’s highest number of refugees amid the biggest migrant crisis since World War II. The total number is expected to reach 800,000 this year – four times last year’s total – at a cost of about 10 billion euros ($11 billion) to the German state.
