FPM Political Relations Officer Gebran Bassil said that the party responsible for Sunday's incidents in the Shiyyah-Mar Mikhael area of Beirut is the same party targeting the Lebanese army.
"Daily attacks on the Lebanese army are not related to Sunday's protests, but are aimed at drowning the army in additional problems," Bassil told NOW Lebanon.
Hand grenades have been thrown at Lebanese army positions in Dahiyeh on a nightly basis since Sunday's incidents.
"The Lebanese army is the only institution over which all the Lebanese agree. It has faced several difficulties, and a hand grenade thrown at one of it positions will not influence it," Bassil said.
He also noted that the investigation into the Dahiyeh protests is so far serious. "We hope that the results will be revealed as soon as possible."
Bassil said that the investigation is related in one way or another to initiatives and political decisions.
"Sunday's events are much more important than any debate over shares in the cabinet. It is impossible to start any political discussion before uncovering this plot that could have drowned Lebanon in civil unrest," he said.
"This time, the perpetrators are uncovered, and a crime was committed in front of cameras and citizens," Bassil said.
He also said that the preliminary results of the investigation will be revealed in the coming days.
"Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa's visit to Beirut is still on," Bassil said. "He will arrive after the end of the investigation and before February 11," he added.
