On the occasion of the 81st anniversary of the Lebanese Army, Ahmad al-Hajjar, Minister of Interior and Municipalities, wrote on “X”: “The Lebanese Army is the pillar of the state, the guardian of its sovereignty, and the guarantee around which the Lebanese people rally. On its holiday, we count on its role in extending the state’s authority over its entire territory, starting from the south, and establishing security and stability. All salutes to the Lebanese Army… the Homeland Army.”
