The Lebanese cabinet on Wednesday tackled the issue of false witnesses in the investigation of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri's assassination and requested Justice Minister Ibrahim Najjar to follow up on the matter.
 
According to Information Minister Tareq Mitri, President Michel Sleiman commended the Resistance's gesture when it placed its capabilities in the hands of the Lebanese army during the Adeisseh clash.
 
The minister said after the Cabinet session that the president also called for following up on the issue of properly equipping the army as indicated in the ministerial statement.

Palestinian sources reported that Israel carried out airstrikes in Gaza Tuesday, after two occupation soldiers were injured by mortars that exploded near the border fence earlier in the day.
 
Air-to-ground missiles struck several targets in central and southern Gaza, but no injuries were reported.
 
Israeli occupation army Spokesperson's office confirmed that Israeli F16s targeted a smuggling tunnel in the town of Rafah under the border between southern Gaza Strip and Egypt. The tunnel was reportedly destroyed.

Lebanon opened a bank account for donations to help modernize its poorly-equipped army, Defense Minister Elias Murr declared on Saturday, two weeks after a Israeli deadly aggression against Lebanese soldiers. 

"I announce the launching of a fund to support and equip the army," Murr said while attending a military maneuver at the army barracks at Roumieh where he also revealed that Cabinet will discuss a draft law on the army's armament based on a three-year plan.

Three days following the exceptional press conference made by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah in which he directly accused the Israeli enemy of involvement in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, the revelations of Sayyed Nasrallah are still making the headlines in Lebanon and the region…

While the Lebanese political scene seemed to be as usual divided over the evidence revealed, Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri, the son of the slain Prime Minister, broke his silence and was quoted as rejecting the attempts to undermine the importance and the value of Sayyed Nasrallah's revelations.
