MP Walid Jumblatt, head of the Democratic Gathering bloc, uncovered a secret document he had received that shows Hezbollah is setting up telecommunications networks across Lebanon.

“A warning has been directed to Lebanese authorities not to intercept this network,” Jumblatt said, also noting that, among other details included in the document, there is information about some activities raising suspicions near the airport landing areas.

A Lebanese army patrol noticed that several containers have been placed on a piece of land located on a secondary road between the airport and the Ouzai area, one of which has a small hole in it through which an object was reflecting light.

“This has raised suspicions that a camera could have been placed in this container to watch the landing runway number 17 at the airport,” Jumblatt said.

He also noted that some civilians were seen near the container and that one of them had taken a camera from it.

Jumblatt did not reveal the source that passed him the information.

“It seems that in the midst of these critical times, a security operation is being set up on runway number 17 at the airport,” Jumblatt said.

“A Sam 7 missile could easily bring down a civilian plane,” he added.

Jumblatt called for awareness, “as it seems we are facing a major security activity.”
