The Islamic State (IS) militant group is set to declare an Islamic
emirate in Lebanon soon as part of its geographical extension, The Daily
Star reported, citing security sources.
Arrangements to form an IS command for Lebanon is reportedly taking
place under the guidance of a Syrian commander who played a crucial role
in the IS offensive against Syria's Raqqa region.
The group has already started preparations to establish a military
organizational committee for Lebanese affairs, according to the
newspaper.
However, the idea of setting up an Islamic emirate in Lebanon has not
received a green light from "powers backing" the Islamic State, security
sources said.
The group is allegedly also struggling to choose a Lebanese commander for the operation.
IS militants have in recent weeks been carrying out training
exercises in the strategically important Qalamun Mountains near the
Lebanese border. The notoriously brutal group has already seized vast
territories of Syria and Iraq, and has several foreign branches.
IS already clashed with Lebanon's army in August 2014 near the city of Arsal, on the border Syria.
