The Lebanese Army has stated that its primary focus amid the ongoing Israeli aggression is to protect the military establishment, maintain its cohesion, stop the aggression, support the citizens, address the displacement crisis, and continue rescue operations in coordination with relevant agencies—all while preserving civil peace and internal stability.
This statement was issued in response to certain media outlets launching campaigns of slander, defamation, and accusations of treason against the military institution and its leadership to serve narrow interests and political agendas.
Furthermore, it emphasized that the army is the backbone of Lebanon and a guarantee for all Lebanese citizens, underscoring the importance of public solidarity with it. The army expressed hope for the success of international efforts to stop the Israeli aggression as soon as possible.
