Lebanese Speaker Nabih Berri voiced support on Thursday to Lebanese Army announcement regarding its plan south of Litani River, stressing that it would have been nearly complete were it not for Israeli attacks.
In a statement, Speaker Berri said Lebanese Army achievements would have been nearly complete were it not for the Zionist entity’s occupation of Lebanese territory, its daily violations through bombardment and destruction, and the obstacles the enemy places in the national army’s path.
The Lebanese speaker also pointed to delay in in the arrival of the promised military capabilities to the Lebanese Army.
Speakr Berri stated that Israeli plots and ambitions in the south include, most recently, targeting UNIFIL forces and calling for an end to their presence, warning that the move threatens UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and its implementation.
Moreover, the House Speaker stressed that the south has repeatedly affirmed its need for the Lebanese Army’s presence and protection.
He concluded the statement by addressing the Israeli enemy assaying: “Leave our land, vacate our skies, and Allah has spared the believers the evil of fighting.”
Earlier on Thursday, the Lebanese Army announced in a statement that its plan to confine weapons has entered an advanced phase after achieving the objectives of the first stage on the ground, noting that the Israeli violations negatively impact the implementation of the plan.
