Kahwaji concluded his speech by telling the soldiers
On the 67 th Lebanese Independence anniversary I urge to stay on the lookout for the Israeli enemy, which still occupies a part of our precious land , and to strengthen the cooperation with international forces in order to preserve stability in the south, and watch out for the schemes of our enemy. I also urge you to exert the maximum possible effort to reassure the citizens about their security and stability in the country”
