Order of the day

LAF Commander in chief General Joseph Aoun delivered the order of the day to soldiers as follows:

Fellow troops
Seventy-seven years of independence, and Lebanon is currently at a delicate and difficult stage on political, economic and social levels, and the port disaster added more pressure to the situation that accompanied the Corona pandemic. However, we are confident that, with our unity and solidarity, we will go through this stage, just as we rose above the crises that wrecked our country in previous phases.

Fellow troops
At this stage, you prove that you are up to the responsibility, and you have managed, through your performance and  resolve, to gain the confidence of the Lebanese and the world regarding the military institution and its national role.
You are a main pillar of national sovereignty, and with your efforts and deligence, you succeeded in resuscitate the port of Beirut at record speed, and helped to alleviate the suffering of affected people by helping them and standing by their side through damage survey operations, financial and humanitarian aid distribution.

The rush of foreign and Arab countries to help Lebanon following the blast had a positive effect and is deeply appreciated.
LAF, with official and popular support and consensus, is fighting the battle of rights and resources through indirect technical negotiations with the Israeli enemy to demarcate the maritime borders, with firm resolve so that national sovereignty will not be compromised.

Fellow troops
Be alert and fully prepared to face Lebanon's foes, as the Israeli enemy does not hesitate to issue threats to attack our land, its hostile intentions towards us have not stopped, and the terror cells that have not stopped planning to tamper with our internal stability. The bet is on you in the face of these dangers, so there is no toleration for those who tamper with the security and stability of our country, and there is no toleration for those who attempt to undermine the supreme national interest and tamper with civil peace.
We have made and we will make sacrifices after sacrifices, give martyr after martyr, and martyrdom will only increase our strength, resilience and insistence to continue performing national duties.
