❗️Lebanese Army Commander General Rodolphe Haykal releases statement ahead of Resistance and Liberation Day (25 May):

“Amid the existential challenges facing our homeland, we recall on Resistance and Liberation Day a national milestone that marked a bright chapter in Lebanon’s history, embodying the Lebanese people’s attachment to their land, sovereignty, and national dignity in the face of the Israeli occupation.

Today, we remember the sacrifices of the martyrs and everyone who contributed to safeguarding the homeland, drawing from that period a spirit of resilience, unity, and hope for a more stable and prosperous future for all Lebanese.

We are still living through the consequences of the ongoing Israeli aggression and the destruction and thousands of martyrs and wounded it has caused across various regions, especially in the south, alongside the continued occupation of Lebanese territory. The army is exerting its maximum capabilities, under complex circumstances and major dangers, to mitigate the effects of the aggression and stand by the citizens, particularly the displaced and those remaining steadfast, while continuing its security missions, including combating terrorism and organized crime, arresting wanted individuals and those disturbing security, and controlling and protecting the northern and eastern borders.”
