Lebanon army says ready to confront Israeli regime aggression

The Lebanese army has expressed its preparedness to confront any Zionist regime's military aggression or infiltration into its borders amid escalating tensions between the two sides.

“The Army is ready on the southern border to face any Israeli military aggression, or any attempt to nibble at areas of the land or maritime borders,” Lebanese Army chief General Joseph Aoun told a group of officers and soldiers on Thursday.

He also said the Lebanese army was determined "to defend Lebanese rights with all its means and capabilities."

Aoun further stressed that the army's readiness was parallel with the monitoring and dismantling of terrorist cells in Lebanon.

Earlier this week, Lebanese President Michel Aoun censured Zionist entity’s repeated violations of the Arab country's sovereignty, saying Beirut is prepared to counter any potential threat from the Tel Aviv regime.
