In the wake of the Israeli air strikes on military targets in Syria, Israeli forces have been on high alert along the border line of the occupied Shebaa Farms adjacent to the Golan Heights section in Syria, the National News Agency reported on Wednesday.

Parliament speaker Nabih Berri said that the general election's results vindicated a formula in which both the army and Hizbullah guarantee the country's protection.

Polls held on Sunday, the first in nine years, saw Hizbullah's allies in parliament garner enough seats to block any attempt by its political foes in parliament to make it disarm.

Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil, the head of President Michel Aoun's Free Patriotic Movement, has announced that the FPM won at least 29 seats in parliamentary elections, making it the largest bloc in the assembly.

The United Nations on Monday urged Lebanon's politicians to act responsibly to protect Lebanon's stability following elections that saw Hizbullah and its allies make gains.

"We hope that all Lebanese political stakeholders will continue to act responsibly in the days following polling to protect Lebanon's stability, which should include the swift formation of a government," said U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric.

The Israeli army carried out construction works in the occupied parts of the southern town of Abbassiyeh, the National News Agency reported on Monday.

Two bulldozers started digging ditches and setting up dirt blocks in the occupied part of the town, NNA.

An Israeli ministers said on Monday that high Hizbullah results in the country’s parliamentary elections, means Israel “will not differentiate” between Hizbullah and the State of Lebanon in any future war.

Less than half of Lebanon's electorate voted in Sunday's general elections, according to a provisional turnout figure of 49.2 percent announced by Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq.

The figure marked a drop from the 54 percent of voters who cast a ballot in 2009, the last time Lebanon elected its parliament.

Hizbullah was poised to seal a win in Lebanon Monday with results for the decade's first general election expected to confirm the Iran-backed party as the main winner.

Lebanon's much-delayed parliamentary elections witnessed a low turnout on Sunday, with the lowest at 28% in Beirut's first electoral district – Ashrafieh, Rmeil, Saifi and Medawar.

The highest turnout was meanwhile recorded in the Rashaya-West Bekaa district at 63.31 percent.

It's Lebanon's unique form of democracy.

Almost everyone in the country complains about it. The same political dynasties dominating year after year, and politicians work for their sect, or their own families. No one has repaired an electricity system that's been decrepit for decades or organized the proper collection of garbage because of business feuds.
