BEIRUT - The leading Shiite parties Hezbollah and Amal Movement declared they will not protect any out-law or cover up violations in the Bekaa Valley.

A security source told the newspaper that the cooperation the ISF had received during the last 48 hours was “encouraging.”

He said random raids on certain regions would occur in the coming hours and military check points would be established to arrest wanted narcotic dealers.

The daily As Safir reported on Sunday that the Internal Security Forces initiated a week-long crackdown on smugglers, criminal havens, narcotics dealers and producers in the Bekaa Valley.
