Clans

Clans and large families in Baalbek-Hermel are working to establish a joint framework that will oppose Hezbollah's policy, support the concentration of weapons in the hands of the Lebanese army, and work to restore relations with other sects and the Arab world.

A security source stated that the activity of Bedouin clans against Hamas is "very effective and proceeding according to plan." However, Walla has learned that senior officials of the Peace Council, with US backing, want the clans disarmed on "the day after." Sources warn this could drive them back to smuggling.
