Caretaker Minister of Defense Fayez Ghosn said on Friday that the 70th anniversary of Lebanon's Independence Day was marked by the blood of innocents who fell in several Lebanese regions.
He also stressed that terrorism will be eradicated, adding that Lebanon "will never be a cradle for Israeli Intelligence."
Ghosn noted that the sole salvation for Lebanon would be setting a political roadmap based on dialogue and state's security institutions.
He hailed the efforts deployed by the Lebanese army in preserving peace and stability in the country, calling on the Lebanese leaders to ease down their rhetoric.
