Army Commander General Joseph Aoun said during his visit to the Bekaa Intelligence Branch that “the army’s war on drugs has not ended and is still continuing,” noting that “the army does not wait for any political or religious cover to combat it, and does not work according to any agenda, but rather out of our responsibility towards Our people and our country, and to the outlaws, surrender, surrender, or bear the consequences of your decision.
During his second stop in the Sixth Brigade – Baalbek, General Aoun said: Security is a red line, and it is not allowed to touch it, and we are at the gates of a tourist season. The army has no enmity with any region or clan. All clans are our people, but our duty is to arrest the outlaws. The people of Baalbek are tired of asking for security, and this is our duty towards them and our promise to them, no matter what the sacrifices are.
This is the Ministry of the Army Commander in the Bouday area, where the home of the martyr Zine El Abidine Shamas, who fell in the recent army operations, said: Sacrifice is a destiny and not an option. The martyr Zine El Abidine Shamas fell in defense of his countrymen in the face of drug gangs. I promise you that his blood will not be in vain, and it is a badge on the chest of the military establishment.
