قائد الجيش للعسكريين: أدعوكم إلى الجهوزية التامة على الحدود الجنوبية لمواجهة تهديدات العدو الإسرائيلي وخروقاته، وما يبيّته من نيّات عدوانية ضد لبنان وشعبه وجيشه، كما إلى السهر الدائم على حسن تنفيذ القرار 1701 بالتنسيق والتعاون مع قوات الأمم المتحدة في لبنان، حفاظاً على الاستقرار.

President Aoun’s remarks were echoed by Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil, who also cautioned Tel Aviv against sparking a war. Lebanon is ready to act, but will do its utmost to prevent Israel from an invasion, he told RT last week. “We should restrain Israel from starting a war exactly because Lebanon is sure to win it,” he said.
Lebanon is undergoing a deep political crisis after its Prime Minister Saad Hariri abruptly resigned on November 4 in a televised statement from Saudi Arabia. In his resignation address, Hariri accused Iran and Shiite Hezbollah militia of sowing strife in Arab countries.
The Arab League called an emergency meeting in Cairo on Sunday, blaming Iran for destabilizing the region. The alliance also described Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, but stopped just short of threatening any action against either. Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the Arab League’s secretary-general, said its members may reach out to the UN Security Council to discuss possible steps against the Islamic republic.

Later, Tehran dismissed the Arab League statement on Iran, saying it was “full of lies” and the product of Saudi “pressure and propaganda.”Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi called on Saudi Arabia to stop its “barbaric attacks” in Yemen. He also called on Riyadh to drop its embargo on Qatar, a country which has close ties to Tehran.
President Aoun defended Hezbollah, saying his country had been subject to Israeli invasions for decades and therefore had the right to protect itself. Aoun rejected “insinuations accusing the Lebanese government of partnering in terrorist acts.”
"Lebanon has confronted Israeli aggressions from 1978 until 2006 and has been able to liberate its territories,” he added, as cited by National News Agency.
Saudi Arabia, a regional arch-rival of Iran, has recently demanded that the Lebanese government pressurize Hezbollah to disarm, and also threatened to take action against Iran’s “aggressive” involvement in the affairs of Yemen and Lebanon. Speaking to Reuters last Thursday, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said Riyadh is “reacting to that aggression and saying enough is enough.”
The bellicose statements from Saudi Arabia notably coincided with comments made by Israel’s top political and military brass. On Sunday, Israel’s Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz told Israeli Army Radio that cooperation “with the moderate Arab world, including Saudi Arabia, is helping us curb Iran.” Steinitz added that his country, which fought Arab nations in several wars, is “usually the party that is not ashamed” of such ties.
The disclosure comes days after Lieutenant General Gadi Eisenkot, chief of staff of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), said that Tel Aviv is willing to contribute to “a new international alliance” in the Middle East, which is determined “to stop the Iranian threat.”
He said that, while Israel does not planning on striking Hezbollah, it is ready to share intelligence on Iran with Saudi Arabia. Tel Aviv and Riyadh do not have diplomatic ties with each another.
Earlier this week, Iran reiterated once again it is determined to bring lasting peace to Syria, while its Gulf neighbors are sparking tensions in the region. Tehran has been working with international partners such as Russia and Turkey to ensure ceasefire in Syria and pave the way for political reconciliation, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said on Sunday.
At the same time, Riyadh “fuels terrorists, wages war on Yemen, blockades Qatar [and] foments crisis in Lebanon,” Zarif tweeted. The Iranian diplomat posted his statement after a new round of talks with his Russian and Turkish counterparts, Sergey Lavrov and Mevlut Cavusoglu, respectively who met in Antalya, Turkey, on Sunday to discuss the Syrian conflict.

^^^^ Lol...Sounds more like Hezbollah reserve rather than a "national Army"
Lebanon created as a safe nation for middle-eastern Christian , now they are below 25% , it's better christians and Druzs abandon this converted nation and join hand with IDF to secure "True Lebanon" from the grip of terrorist militia( Hez) and their aka( Iran) .

Lebanese edition of Ad-Diyar published an article about Hezbollah's plans in Syria.
The article is decorated with a photo of the Hezbollah fighter holding Imad Mughniy's portrait against the background of the IDF's observation post on Mount Hermon.
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mugniya,_Imad (unpleasant to read for 1985)
According to the newspaper, Moscow "definitely guaranteed" that it would not require the allies to leave southern Syria.
From the point of view of Hezbollah, its main mission in Syria is completed with the capture of the city of Abu Kamal and the sweeping of the surrounding areas.
The battle in eastern Syria was the last battle of the Syrian Civil War, its last active front. Field commanders and units are now being transferred to Kalamun and Quneitra.
"Hezbollah" from the very beginning of the Syrian war did not ignore Kuneitra and created here an infrastructure of "resistance", completely consisting of Syrian fighters called "Islamic Resistance in Syria." These forces are subject only to Hezbollah and Iran.
Hezbollah's next plan is to concentrate its main military effort on Quneitra and the surrounding regions in order to prepare for a future war with Israel. "Hezbollah" intends to create in Kuneitra redoubt similar to what it built in southern Lebanon.
In addition, Hezbollah will establish control over all the dominant heights to the south-west of Damascus, from which Kuneitra is fully visible.
Hezbollah is already beginning to realize its military ambitions in the region, as exemplified by the recent large-scale attack against the enclave of Beit Jann, during which an attempt was made to knock out rebels from several villages near Mount Hermon. Thus, Hezbollah expects to create a single control zone from Mount Lebanon to the city of Quneitra. Hezbollah's plan is to pinch Galilee between its fortified areas at bases in South Lebanon and Quneitra.

If Hezbollah wanted to act in the interest of Lebanon, they should handle their equipment and weapons to the Lebanese national army, so the army could effectively defend the country against terrorist aggressions coming from Syria. But interest of Lebanon is secondary to Hezbollah. Their primary goal is to serve Iran interests and their islamic revolution grand dreams. All Lebanese are taken hostage.
Interesting material in this video.
