Lebanese Chief of Staff Jean Kahwaji has issued instructions to troops to exhibit increased vigilance and to remain alert to any and all Israeli activities along the border.

According to a al-Quds al-Arabi report, the general’s order of the day accompanied the nation’s Independence Day celebrations, stressing the need to continue to oppose Israeli violations on land, sea and air, “using all means at our disposal”.

In a related matter, Lebanese officials on Saturday reported anti-aircraft fire was directed against an Israeli drone flying in Lebanese airspace.
