ISIL to Invade Lebanon
The scheme was revealed by Lebanese security sources cited in a Monday report by the local Daily Star news outlet, which further pointed out that the Takfiri militants have demanded support from affiliated terrorists in northern Syria to achieve their intrusion objectives.
According to the sources, the ISIL command has also started arrangements to establish “a military organizational committee tasked with running Lebanese affairs” following their presumed invasion of the nation, Press TV reported.
However, the security sources noted that the notorious terror group was having difficulties picking a Lebanese commander for their military mission in the country after ruling out the appointment of fugitive Takfiri preacher Ahmad al-Assir for the post.
Efforts to set up an ISIL command for “the Lebanon emirate” were being carried out “under the supervision of the group commander Khalaf al-Zeyabi Halous, codenamed Abu Musaab Halous,” a native of Syria “who had played a key role” in the ISIL’s capture the country’s northern Raqqa province in 2013, according to the sources.
Halous recently visited the al-Qalamoun region on the Lebanese-Syrian border, where he met with field commanders to discuss setting up security and military formations between Qalamoun and Lebanon.
