Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called on all Lebanese citizens on Tuesday to rally around the Lebanese army.
"The time has come for the army to return and assume its duties and be solely responsible for security in the south," Aoun said.
"Those who try to incite sectarian and religious strife will not succeed, and anyone who does so is handing a free gift to Israel," he added.
"Everyone must rally around the Lebanese army and security forces; otherwise, the loss will be comprehensive," Aoun concluded.
