Lebanon Suspends Non-Government Security Cards, Makes State-Issued IDs Exclusive

Lebanese authorities have suspended the validity of security cards previously issued by armed groups, according to sources cited by Al-Hadath.

The sources confirmed that, going forward, only security cards issued by the Lebanese State will be recognized.

The move marks a step toward consolidating state authority over security documentation, signaling the government’s effort to curb the influence of non-state actors.
