Samir Geagea, leader of the Lebanese Forces, confirmed that the incident at the Dheir El Bitar checkpoint, where two members of the party were arrested with hundreds of kilograms of explosives, is the most serious in years. He called for a firm stance from the state to continue the process of restricting arms to its control. He explained that the explosive materials included C4, which is commonly used in assassinations, and that the shipment was headed from Beqaa to Beirut. He believed that the weapons were intended for use within Lebanon and not against Israel. Geagea urged the continuation of investigations and the dismantling of the chain of command, including the party's Secretary-General if necessary. He also emphasized the need to purge state agencies of elements close to the party and warned about the slow efforts of authorities in controlling arms trafficking. He reminded stakeholders of the importance of maintaining communication with the presidential leaderships. Additionally, he condemned the Houthis' attacks on Saudi Arabia, reaffirming his support for the Kingdom, which has aided Arab countries during difficult times.
