Lebanese Army Commander General Rodolph Haykal has stressed the need to ensure the country’s territorial integrity, as Israel continues to occupy about 2,000 square kilometres of southern Lebanon’s territory, Al Jazeera reports.
“We believe that every inch of our land is our right, and we reject the continued Israeli occupation of any part of our territory,” Haykal has said while visiting troops in the area of Tyre, according to the Lebanese Army’s X account.
“The sacrifices of our martyrs and wounded will not be in vain. We will continue to stand by our people and support their return despite all challenges,” he adds.
