Lebanon warns Hamas not to carry out any attacks from its territories

[Twiglets1]

Article in The Independent today:

Lebanese authorities warned the Hamas group Friday that it would face the “harshest measures” if it carried out any attacks from Lebanon.

The warning by the Higher Defence Council, Lebanon’s top military body, came weeks after several Lebanese and Palestinians were detained on suspicion of firing rockets from Lebanon into northern Israel.

“Hamas and other factions will not be allowed to endanger national stability,” the council said. “The safety of Lebanon’s territories is above all.”

Since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023, the Palestinian militant group has carried out several attacks against Israel from Lebanon, where it has an armed presence. Israel has since carried out airstrikes that killed Hamas officials including one of its top military chiefs, Saleh Arouri, in Beirut.

Unfortunately I doubt Hamas or their Hezbollah pals give a shit.

Lebanon doesn’t want to get dragged into an unnecessary war… Hamas losing allies should tell them it’s over.

They should surrender and release the hostages.

I wonder what the Lebanese consider to be 'the harshest measures'.

Army Intelligence receives suspect from Hamas over rocket fire from Lebanon

Based on a recommendation from the Higher Defense Council and a Lebanese government decision warning against the use of Lebanese territory for actions that threaten national security, the Lebanese Army's Intelligence Directorate has taken delivery of a suspect from Hamas.

The suspect, identified by his initials M.G., was handed over at the entrance to Ain al-Hilweh camp in Sidon.

He is accused of involvement in two rocket attacks toward Israeli territory on March 22 and March 28, 2025.

Seems like Hamas is taking the warning from Lebanon seriously, according to the above article.

And I wouldn't want to be in M.G's shoes right now.
