Fruitful Legislative Session: EDL Workers, Extra-Spending Draft Laws Pass
Again the Lebanese resistance redirects the compass to the real threat "Israel".
With full readiness and watchful eyes, the resistance men recorded Monday a new security achievements sending a clear message to all who might be concerned.
To, "Israel", beware Hizbullah men are ready for any battle and you'll be defeated in your security war as you was defeated in the battle field. And to refresh your memories: We're ready for any other July.
To all who doubt the effect of the resistance arms: "Israel" will continue to try penetrating the Lebanese arena on more than one level. It simply seeks revenge. Are you ready?
Resistance New Victory
The Lebanese resistance scored Monday another achievement on the "Israeli" enemy as it succeeded to uncover an "Israeli" espionage device implanted in the southern village of Zrariyeh on Monday. The wiretapping device was aimed to spy on the resistance wire telecoms line.
In a clear admission of the resistance security victory, "Israeli" warplanes bombed the tapping device it had planted in, particularly in a valley between Zrariyeh and Tair Filsay villages near the Litani River, using an air-to-ground missile after it had remotely detonated it.
A well-informed security source told "as-Safir" Lebanese newspaper that "the new "Israeli" is located in the region dubbed as "Khalet al-Warq"."
"The region is located between the Southern towns Zrariyeh, Haloseyieh and Bedias, which is less than a kilometer from the site of the United Nations Interim Forces In Lebanon troops," the source added.
He further clarified that " the resistance discovered the breach late Sunday during a routine detection process on its wire telecoms network."
"During the process, the resistance received signals on the presence of a foreign body and vibrations coming from the place, similar to those that have already been picked in previous cases," the source mentioned.
Soon, "Israel" bombed its tapping device.
For its part, "an-Nahar" daily said that "the bombing of the espionage device was planted at a depth of about one meter in the ground."
"The device was disguised in a very smart way," the paper stated and pointed out that " this resembled an Israeli attempt to avoid previous experiences in which Hizbullah managed to discover three similar espionage devices in the border areas."
"However, the device was this time planted at deeper Southern point," it mentioned.
On this matter, "as-Safir" viewed " the most prominent question is centered on the "Israeli" ability to infiltrate deep into the Lebanese Northern Litani region."
"Was the spying device planted recently or from long ago? how was the device implanted? Was this done at once or in various stages? Was the device directly implanted by "Israel" or via its tools?" the paper wondered.
Meanwhile, Lebanon is expected to deliver a new complaint to the United Nations Security Council on the new "Israeli" breach.
For His part, Prime Minister Najib Mikati requested that the Lebanese Army Command tackle the incident with the UNIFIL Command.
Fruitful Legislative Session

The agreement came just hours after PM Mikati discussed the draft law with House Speaker Nabih Berri, Deputy Speaker Farid Makari, head of Future bloc MP Siniora and Chouf MP George Adwan, from the Lebanese Forces.
Shortly before the passing of the draft law: Mikati, Siniora, Head of Change and Reform bloc MP Michel Aoun, and Health Minister Ali Hasan Khalil, held a meeting that was later attended by MP Suleiman Franjieh.
Similarly, the parliament reached an agreement to permanently employ hourly-wage workers at EDL after conducting an assessment of the employees to select those competent for hiring.
In parallel, "al-Joumhoria" daily reported that the Change and Reform bloc, Kateb, and LF MPs objected the law. "They are likely to boycott Tuesday's session in protest."
LF sources told "al-Akhbar" that "the three parties decided to boycott Tuesday's session in protest against Speaker Nabih Berri's performance."
For his part, PM Najib Mikati hailed the legislative achievements.
"The two draft laws ratified by the parliament on Monday will benefit all Lebanese people," he stressed
