Lebanon

The head of Hamas’ International Relations Department claimed that Hamas and Hezbollah have “constant field cooperation and coordination.” Hezbollah has reportedly sent reinforcements to aid Assad regime troops in Damascus. Lebanese forces arrested a member of Jemaah Islamiyah in the Bekaa Valley who allegedly fired rockets at Israel yesterday; three more rockets were launched towards Israel today. Israeli artillery responded swiftly to yesterday’s rocket fire. Security forces are concerned that Islamist militants will kidnap soldiers in exchange for inmates at Roumieh prison. A magistrate called for the death penalty for top Arab Democratic Party official Rifaat Eid and three others accused of murder and terrorism.
