The Kataeb Party has been following the internal and field developments, and announced in a statement that it has "monitored movements, attacks, and suspicious statements that are being deliberately released in sensitive areas for evident objectives, which have become a source of concern and smell of security operations aimed at exacerbating the situation and further destabilizing security in Lebanon. Accordingly, the party requests all friends, loyalists, and supporters not to get dragged into any kind of reactions that could distract attention from the real criminal in the Pascal Sleiman case, as this is exactly what Lebanon’s enemies wish for."
