Local Editor
Lebanese Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji vowed on Saturday to continue his war on terror to prevent it from infiltrating into Lebanon.
In remarks to as-Safir Lebanese daily, the military leader said: "The challenges are enormous."
He expressed his admiration for the military's achievements on the security level, pointing out that the army intelligence is carrying out an "outstanding" work in revealing terror networks and cells.
Qahwaji stressed that "malicious enemy is not linked to any religion and only knows the language of blood."
Terrorists are "waiting for the first chance to assault the county, but am not worried as the will of the troops in far greater than their terrorism," the high-ranking army official said.
He considered the military as the "country's safe haven and bulwark."
"Our decision is to triumph and thwart the terrorists' attempts to alter Lebanon, wipe out its history and establish an Emirate on its ruins and the blood of its people."
Qahwaji told soldiers that they are "the hope of the Lebanese. We are with you in the field against terrorists."
Asked about the case of abducted Lebanese servicemen, Qahwaji stressed that their freedom is a priority.
"The army will not rest before it frees the soldiers and return them to their parents."
