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.
