Aoun: The Lebanese Army remains steadfast in its principles, offering sacrifice after sacrifice, undeterred by campaigns of incitement and attempts to sow doubt

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun: I affirm that our army, which protects southerners and all Lebanese, remains unwavering in its commitment to defending national dignity and sovereignty.

Haykal: In parallel, the army continues to secure and protect the northern and eastern borders and the territorial waters, and to prevent smuggling, in coordination with the Syrian authorities.

Haykal: Our efforts are aimed at implementing the government’s decision and adhering to Resolution 1701 and all its provisions, in coordination with UNIFIL and the Mechanism Committee.

Haykal: The Army’s efforts aim to implement its plan, reinforce its deployment in the area south of the Litani, and extend state authority over all its territory.

Haykal: Lebanese Army has exerted tremendous efforts since the entry into force of the ceasefire agreement.

Haykal: These Israeli attacks and violations prevent the full deployment of the army and destroy property and infrastructure.

Haykal: This phase comes amid ongoing Israeli attacks and violations that are leaving martyrs and injured.

Lebanese Army Commander Rodolphe Haykal: Our country is witnessing a decisive phase, one of the most difficult in its history, amid the Israeli occupation of Lebanese territory.
