#ISIS flag was raised high in #Tripoli, inspired by #ISIS conquest in #Syria against #JAN #IF and Iraqi Forces.

Elijah J Magnier ‏@EjmAlrai 1m
This will seriously affect #Lebanon. Intel info reached security forces of multiple suicide attacks planned in the country.

Elijah J Magnier ‏@EjmAlrai 6s
Main target is Nabih Berri, a #Shia who leads Amal Movement. If killed, a sectarian violence is almost certain. #ISIS knows what is doing.

Abdallah Azzam Brigade leader sh. Zureikat has been indecisive who to follow #JAN or #ISIS. He has received help form both so far.

Elijah J Magnier ‏@EjmAlrai 1m
With #ISIS prevailing in #Iraq (even if not for long) and mainly in #Syria and the weakening of Jabhat al-Nusra, Zureikat will join #ISIS
