The General Executor of Akkar in the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, Ahmad Al-Sabsibi, denied in a statement "all that is being rumored in Akkar about the intention of the social nationalists to burn the office of the Lebanese Forces in Akkar. This news is completely untrue and does not align with the statements made by the party's officials in Akkar. It is merely the fabrication of those who thrive in chaos and who do not wish well for Akkar." Following the attack on the Zgharta branch office in Jdita, he stated: "We in the Akkar branch believe in the role of the state and its security apparatus in pursuing those who seek to harm Akkar and in bringing them to justice with the harshest penalties. We affirm that we are not weak if we are attacked; rather, we are lions who can defend ourselves strongly, and this is our right."
