Army urges Lebanese to show unity, protect civil peace
The Lebanese Army said Friday that it will not allow “any security breach or harm against civil peace,” urging the Lebanese not to “carry out any act that can have uncalculated repercussions on security” amid the current local and regional developments.
“Lebanon is currently facing a host of extraordinary circumstances, most notably the continuation of attacks and violations of national sovereignty by the Israeli enemy, in addition to the challenges of preserving security inside the country, controlling the border, and the complicated developments in the region,” the army said in a statement.
“The army will not allow any security breach or harm against civil peace, and it also stresses that overcoming this period requires the unity of the Lebanese and their solidarity and awareness of the gravity of this period,” the army added, calling on citizens “not to carry out any act that can have uncalculated repercussions on the security of the Lebanese.”
Several Lebanese areas had witnessed road-blocking protests and attacks on Syrian passersby in the wake of the deadly clashes between Druze fighters and Sunni forces and tribesmen in the Druze-majority Syrian city of Sweida.
The northern city of Tripoli also witnessed a demo supportive of the new Islamist rulers of Syria.
