Hezbollah does not want to expand the ongoing fighting in the Gaza Strip to Lebanon, an unnamed Lebanese official told the London-based Arabic-language newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat in a Sunday report.
“The situation on the border with Israel will remain under control because Hezbollah has no interest to expand the conflict,” the source was quoted as saying.

Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Waleed Bukhari said Sunday there were attempts to smuggle 600 million narcotic pills from Lebanon during the past six years, a quantity that could “drown the Arab world with drugs and psychotropic substances.”
“The total narcotic substances and psychotropic substances brought from Lebanon by drug traffickers and seized [by Saudi authorities] amounted to more than 600 million narcotic pills and hundreds of kilograms of hashish over the past six years,” Bukhari said on Twitter.
He said the smuggling of these drugs is not targeting the Kingdom alone, but all parts of the Arab world.

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rai asserted on Sunday that the Lebanese Army is the sole legitimate force entrusted with defending Lebanon.
“It is not permissible to legislate or cover the presence of any illegal weapon alongside its own, he said during a Mass service in Bkirki.
Rai also criticized those who wanted the army to oppress the citizens in the streets. The army is part of the people and we cannot force it to confront them. The army is the army of democracy, and no one has the right to turn it into an army of oppressive measures, he noted.
