A tour for a number of ambassadors, chargés d’affaires, and military attachés to review the implementation of the first phase of the Army’s plan in the South Litani Sector, and its missions across all Lebanese territory

In the presence of the Army Commander-in-Chief General Rodolph Haykal, the Army Command organized a field tour for a number of ambassadors, chargés d’affaires, and military attachés to review the implementation of the first phase of the Army’s plan in the South Litani Sector, in accordance with the decision of the political authority, as well as its missions across all Lebanese territory.

At the Headquarters of the South Litani Sector in Tyre, the meeting commenced with the Lebanese national anthem followed by a minute of silence in tribute to the Army’s fallen martyrs. The Army Commander then delivered a welcoming address, expressing his appreciation to the friend countries represented, in recognition of their continued support for Lebanon. He emphasized that the primary objective of the military institution is to safeguard stability, despite the ongoing Israeli occupation of Lebanese territory and the continued acts of aggression. He noted that the tour aimed to reaffirm the Army’s commitment to implementing Resolution 1701 and the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, and to carrying out the tasks entrusted to it, despite limited resources. He also affirmed that residents, like all components of Lebanese society, have confidence in the Army.

A detailed briefing was also presented on the Army’s missions across various Lebanese regions, the overall situation in the South Litani Sector, and the scope of cooperation with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). The briefing further addressed the implementation of the first phase of the Army’s plan in the sector, carried out in coordination with the Ceasefire Supervision Committee (Mechanism).

The attendees commended the Army’s professionalism and dedication in fulfilling its mission, highlighting the sacrifices made by its personnel in the line of duty. They subsequently conducted a field tour of several positions and sites included in the Army’s plan, accompanied by several officers.
