Residents of the coastal town of Jiyeh, Iqlim al-Kharroub and some neighboring villages woke up on Sunday morning to see leaflets distributed by unknown persons containing inflammatory messages against Hezbollah, reported the Lebanese daily An-Nahar.
The leaflets called for an end to the war and the deployment of the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon and also denounced Hezbollah’s arms depots and underground tunnels.
“Stop the war before it swallows us whole. Remove the arms depots from among people’s houses. You will not enter the mountains. Deploy the Lebanese army at the border and it will protect us,” the leaflets read.
Another leaflet reads, “Get the warehouses out of the houses. No to tunnels in Jbeil, Keserwan, Tomat, Niha and the Bekaa. May 7 will not be repeated and we will defeat you this time.”
To recall, on May 7, 2008, Hezbollah and its allies occupied Beirut using the force of their militia weapons to bring down the government of Fouad Siniora. The latter had demanded that the pro-Iranian group’s illegal telecommunications cables be dismantled.
