Information reported that the Amal Movement intended to hand over its field sites in the south to the Lebanese Army, in a step that carries clear implications in its timing and nature. The information indicated that the step carries a direct message to the “party” that the phase of the presence of weapons outside the framework of the state has reached its end, at a time when the political debate is escalating about the exclusivity of weapons in the hands of the state, and it is also read as a veiled message from Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri to the party in this direction.
