Gemayel files complaint against Hezbollah official over threats to civil peace
Kataeb leader Sami Gemayel filed Monday a complaint against Faisal Shukr, a senior Hezbollah official in the Bekaa region.
The complaint alleges that Shukr's public speech on July 6, 2025, during Hezbollah's Ashoura procession, included direct threats to kill those who call for disarming the party, incitement to violence, and sectarian rhetoric.
In the speech, Shukr told the Lebanese who want to take Hezbollah's arms, "we will take your souls," adding that weapons are sacred to the group and linking Hezbollah's disarmament to the liberation of Palestine. "We will not disarm before Zionists leave Palestine," Shukr said.

by Naharnet Newsdesk 17 July 2025, 15:58 Druze spiritual leader in Lebanon Sheikh Sami Abi al-Mona has expressed his fear of sectarian tensions in Lebanon against the backdrop of Syria's Sweida events. In an interview, published Thursday in local An-Nahar newspaper, Abi al-Mona warned against transferring the conflict to Lebanon and urged both Sweida armed groups and Lebanese Hezbollah to hand over their arms to the state. Al-Mona said the decision of war and peace should be in the hands of the state. "We say this to the people of Sweida and to Hezbollah." The Druze spiritual leader added that Hezbollah has already caused losses to Lebanon and that now is the time to build a state and disarm the group through dialogue yet without procrastination. "Hezbollah's weapons today would not deter Israel but would rather cause an internal conflict," he said.
