President of the Republic Joseph Aoun condemned "attempts to once again drag Lebanon into the cycle of violence."
He said, "What happened today in the south, and what has been ongoing since February 18th, constitutes a persistent attack on Lebanon and undermines the rescue plan that all Lebanese have agreed upon." He called on "all relevant forces in the south, especially the monitoring committee established under the November 2024 agreement, and the army to follow what is happening with the utmost seriousness to avoid any repercussions, and to control any violation or negligence that could threaten the country in these delicate circumstances."
President Aoun also asked the army commander to "take the necessary field measures to ensure the safety of citizens and to investigate the circumstances of what occurred."
