“We won’t be lenient with terrorist groups or with anyone who tries to protect and harbor them,” he vowed.

The top security official further confirmed that “any attack against the army and other security agencies targets the civil peace. Therefore, the LA would not be standing idly by.”

Qahwaji also stated that “the army didn’t and will not hesitate to protect the people of Tripoli without any exception.”

“However, the solution isn’t with blood,” he said, reiterating the necessity of establishing a comprehensive military-security-development plan parallel to stop sectarian incitement of all kinds.”
