UNIFIL's departure is a disaster for us, because a large proportion of the town's residents work for it, in addition to the economic activity and income its presence provides. I don't know what will happen to the steadfast families here if it leaves.

The performance of President Joseph Aoun is the best representation of the "Lebanese Forces" by more than 90%, and any disagreement with Aoun we discuss behind closed doors. We are the president's supporters, and there is no disagreement between us, only very minor differences.

These crimes once again reveal the truth of the Houthi militia as a terrorist group that does not hesitate to target civilians and vital institutions, as happened recently at King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, in an attempt to muddy the waters and divert attention from the violations and crimes it has been committing against Yemenis for years in service of Iranian interests in the region, which confirms that it does not value the lives of innocents or international laws and norms.
