Lebanese ISF foiled major terror attack thru Operation Lethal Cheese

Lebanese Internal Security Forces foiled major terrorist attacks on places of worship and military positions for which terrorists had recruited a Syrian citizen since 2013 and plotted two massive bomb explosions to sabotage Parliamentary Elections in May 2018.

Caretaker Lebanese Minister of Interior and Municipalities Nohad Machnouk said at a press conference in the Lebanese capital city of Beirut that the terrorist attack was uncovered after ten months of hard work by members of the Internal Security Forces Directorate under an operation, codenamed “Lethal Cheese.”
He stressed that Lebanon is now safe for both its residents and visitors and they decided to publicize the operation to provide assurances that security is in a good condition in the country.
Lebanon’s first parliamentary vote in nine years was held on May 6, with over 500 candidates vying for seats. Turnout was 49.2 percent, according to officials.
According to official results, Hezbollah and its political allies secured over half the seats.
Hezbollah as well as groups and individuals affiliated to it won at least 67 seats in Lebanon’s parliament, according to the results cited by politicians and campaigns and reported in Lebanese media.
Hezbollah’s allies include the Amal Movement led by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and the Christian Free Patriotic Movement founded by President Michel Aoun.
The parliamentary seats are split evenly — 64 for Christians and 64 for Muslims, including Druze, with the two halves further divided among 11 religious groups.
