Lebanon\u2019s army chief has ordered soldiers to stand fully ready on the country\u2019s southern border to respond to the Israeli military\u2019s \u2018threats and violations.\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tIn a post on his Twitter account on Tuesday, Commander General Joseph Aoun called on Lebanese forces to continue targeting terrorists who commit crimes against the army and the nation, presstv.com reported.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI urge you to be fully prepared at the southern border in order to confront the Israeli enemy\u2019s threats and violations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe senior general also warned that the Israeli regime has \u201chostile intentions against Lebanon, its people, and army.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in his Tweet, Aoun demanded Lebanese army soldiers \u201cto remain vigilant to ensure the implementation of Resolution 1701 in close coordination and cooperation with the UNIFIL in order to preserve stability\u201d on the Lebanese southern frontier.<\/p>\n

\n\tIsrael launched two wars on Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, in both of which the Hezbollah resistance movement inflicted heavy losses on the regime\u2019s military.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnited Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 ended the 2006 war. The resolution tasks peacekeepers with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), who are stationed along Lebanon\u2019s southern border with the occupied territories, with monitoring the cessation of hostilities there.<\/p>\n

\n\tIsraeli forces regularly violate Lebanon\u2019s sovereignty and target Lebanese patrol soldiers. Israeli officials have even threatened another war on Lebanon.<\/p>\n

\n\tBack in September, Israel conducted its biggest military drill in almost two decades on the Lebanese border. An Israeli military source said the 10-day exercise was meant to simulate \u201cscenarios we\u2019ll be facing in the next confrontation with Hezbollah.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Israeli minister of military affairs Avigdor Lieberman has requested a boost in the regime\u2019s military budget, citing \u201ca significant change in the security situation in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTens of thousands of Israeli air, sea and land personnel took part in the war game, which also included aircraft, boats, and submarines.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Sunday, Arab League foreign ministers held an emergency meeting in Cairo, with the final statement accusing Hezbollah of \u201csupporting terrorism and extremist groups in Arab countries with advanced weapons and ballistic missiles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is while Hezbollah is represented in the Lebanese parliament and in the national unity government formed last year.<\/p>\n

\n\tReacting to the Arab League statement, Lebanon\u2019s President Michel Aoun said his country reserved the right to resist and foil any Israeli aggression.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLebanon was able to face the Israeli aggression since 1978 until the 2006 war. It was able to liberate its land. Israeli threats are still ongoing; the Lebanese have the right to fight and thwart it with all available means,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n

\n\tAoun further noted that Lebanon \u201ccannot accept suggestions that Lebanon\u2019s government is a partner in acts of terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLebanese president said his nation has the right to resist and foil Israel’s aggressive plans against Lebanon.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this month, Lebanon\u2019s Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil cautioned Israel against waging a war on his country, citing Beirut\u2019s confidence to secure victory in the battle.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said Saudi Arabia has appealed to Israel to launch a military onslaught against Lebanon in the name of fighting Hezbollah, and is ready to spend billions of dollars to attain this objective.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe army chief\u2019s appeal to soldiers comes at a time when Lebanon is grappling with a political crisis caused by the shock resignation of Prime Minister Saad Hariri during visit to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is widely believed that Hariri, who led a coalition government including Hezbollah, was forced to step down by the regime in Riyadh over his refusal to take a confrontational approach against the resistance movement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
