Cabinet Will Seek Greater Presence of the Lebanese Armed Forces in South
After meeting with Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir on Thursday in Bkirki, Minister of State Nassib Lahoud stated his surprise on the ongoing rocket launching from south of Lebanon toward Israeli soil in spite of the cabinet’s solid decision not to be dragged into the crisis.
Lahoud said that the cabinet would make further decisions in its Thursday’s session to increase the presence of the Lebanese armed forces in the regions of the south and emphasize the implementation of the UN 1701 resolution.
Lahoud also said that they will make their best to prevent any new war against Lebanon and protect the Lebanese people.
