Despite US funding, arms delivery and training, the Lebanese military is ill-equipped to protect @lebanon sovereignty.

Illustration: Batroun is a city in northern Lebanon. "Earlier this month, a 25-member commando team from Israel's elite #Shayetet13 unit carried out a maritime raid, abducting [a naval captain] from an apartment in Batroun."
The commando left without facing even a statement of condemnation from the Lebanese army.
This incident demonstrates the degree to which Lebanon's defense capabilities remain compromised.

Israel's weird abduction of a Lebanese sea captain

Israeli forces recently abducted a Lebanese maritime captain for links to Hezbollah – a claim denied by both his family and the Lebanese resistance movement. Is the kidnapping of Imad Amhaz just another in a series of Israeli flop ops?
