Lebanese Armed Forces

The head of Israel's air force said Wednesday that in any future conflict with Lebanon the Jewish state will have "unimaginable" military power at its disposal. Major General Amir Eshel told a security conference that Israel's armed forces now have far more punch than they did in the 2006 war against Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah.

Lebanese security forces killed a bomb maker and arrested another prominent militant suspect overnight in the northern city of Tripoli, sending armed supporters onto the streets in protest, security sources said on Sunday.

The international community pledged on Tuesday to support the Lebanese armed forces by training them to deal with any spillover of the Syrian crisis.
