in Maarab is believed to be Israeli.

Charbel considered that this type of unmanned aircraft could carry a missile that weighs around 200 or 300 kilograms.

According to al-Joumhouria newspaper published on Saturday, Charbel revealed that a report by the Internal Security Forces confirmed that a drone was seen with the naked eye above the residence of Geagea.

On Tuesday, Charbel said that the "matter isn't a joke."

He stressed that the necessary measures should be taken to protect Maarab and those who are targeted in liquidation attempts, noting that the possible use of anti-aircraft fire was discussed to shoot down the drone.

The Lebanese Forces said earlier this month that a drone was spotted carrying out flights over Maarab for a period of time.

Last week, LF informed the army anew that guards sighted the unmanned aircraft again on Friday.

Guards described the aircraft as white and resembles a drone, adding that it flew at a law altitude and caused unusual sounds.
