The Army said in a statement, the cell was in the process of carrying out terror acts inside Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers....The vehicle of the cell’s commander and Emir, Khaled Tellawi, who is still on the lam, was used by the suspects involved in the Kaftoun crime that left three municipal police guards dead in August, added the statement.
"Eradication of this cell comes within the framework of pre-emptive operations and the permanent follow-up of the terrorist organizations and cells associated with it," said the army statement.
Adding "the terrorist cell members were arrested on different dates in a series of security operations in the North and Bekaa regions. They had received military training, collected weapons and ammunition and carried out several thefts with the aim of financing the activities of the aforementioned cell."
The military confiscated the weapons and ammunition in their possession.
