The Lebanese Army has been suffering from the harshness of the platform in the last two months, with the intensity of the Israeli attack against Lebanon, and later with the ground attack and the destruction of a large number of border towns.
Despite this, he remained steadfast in the south and did not surrender to the Israeli messages that arrived with fire, as a result of the direct attacks on his institutions, to especially in the past days, when the number of his martyrs exceeded forty martyrs.
Israel carried out its provocations against the army, as well as the International Emergency Forces (UNIFIL), with the aim of evacuating their positions in the areas of military operations and withdrawing outside the lines of the ground attack. The bombing was for sites next to these axes in Ebel al-Saqi, al-Mari, al-Sarfand, al-Amiriyah in Tyre, and patrolling the Burj al-Muluk road, among others.
As the cease-fire decision comes into effect, attention turns to the Lebanese Army and its primary role in preserving the security of the south. , and implementing the agreement and therefore Resolution 1701.
Accordingly, information indicates that the Lebanese government has completed the basic phase by authorizing the recruitment of 1,500 new members to the military establishment, and requesting the necessary support for the army at the Paris conference. This was confirmed by the French-American joint statement yesterday, as well as the statement of US President Joe Biden, who promised to support the Lebanese Armed Forces.
Information indicates that, in the first phase, the government will send 5,000 soldiers to the south, with the number, according to the ceasefire agreement, reaching 10,000 soldiers later. This requires strengthening the military institution in equipment and numbers to allow it to fulfill this mission in the south, as well as its basic mission of maintaining internal security at this delicate level.
At the same time, investigative sources on the MTV website confirm that the statement about sending the Lebanese army to the south is false, because it is already there, and it is used to keep the main his places in the southern Litani region despite the war, where the 5th and 7th brigades are based, as well as the two intervention regiments and the newly established model regiment.
The sources do not hide that, with the beginning of the ground attack, the army made continuous formations and resettlement in the south in accordance with the realities of the army and continuous hostility, but remained he on the ground and even that he had a central role in the level. relief operations, helping citizens, and performing various field missions.
The Chief of the Army, General Joseph Aoun, responded to what was being said about the withdrawal of the army from the south in the past few days by saying, in the “Order of the Day” during Independence Day: “The army is still being used in the South. , where the soldiers make sacrifices and kill for the sake of Lebanon, and will not leave it because it is an inevitable part.” Of national jurisdiction, it works in coordination with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon – “UNIFIL” within the framework of Resolution 1701. It also stands by its people and its population. Based on his national responsibility, he continues to fulfill his missions despite the difficulties and dangers.”
The army chief’s words confirmed Lebanon’s official decision not to leave the south, before announcing the settlement and reaching a cease-fire decision, which the army leadership confirms that he is ready to implement it, which includes strengthening it and providing political cover to be a military force only in the south.
Therefore, with the acceptance of the ceasefire, and as a result of Israel’s pre-determined intentions, the Lebanese army has a very delicate phase until the sixty-day deadline specified in the agreement expires, and the measures that may be imposed on him. the fait accompli on the ground, as well as the possibility of the settlement collapsing at any moment if violations from both sides return.
Many questions arise about the role of the army in the next phase, the nature of the tasks assigned to it and the limits of its powers. Will he work according to the statement of the minister who expresses the trilogy of the army, the people and the resistance? How will Hezbollah react to the new phase? Will it help the military mission and who will ensure the implementation of the provisions of Resolution 1701 regarding the withdrawal of a “party” north of the Litani?
As for the most dangerous task facing the military, this is what Israel’s enemy is trying to impose on the future of Hezbollah’s weapons and infrastructure and to preserve weapons, and these are the main caves.
