NNA -Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri commented on the recent developments in the south via the X platform, saying: “I bow before the martyrs and wounded of our defenceless people in the south and before their pure will in confronting an occupation that violates the ceasefire agreement, and I salute our national army, and I hope that our people will abide by its directives to protect them.”

He added: "The international community is called upon to immediately assume its responsibilities towards the illegal occupation and towards a guaranteed agreement sponsored by the major powers and to which Lebanon has fully committed."
