LAF Commander inaugurates Arsal Martyrs Road

Lebanese Armed Forces Commander Major General Joseph Aoun inaugurated on Friday the "Arsal Martyrs Road" which is a 12 km path that forms a link between the military posts in the area. 

It also allows the owners of lands in rugged areas a better access to their lands, and better investment in them.

During a meeting with the families of the martyrs and the town’s residents, the army Commander recalled "the sacrifices made by the martyrs of the military institution."

He also noted that "the region of Arsal suffered from terrorism, which negatively affected the lives of its citizens, who lost their livelihood,” adding however that the town stood by the military institution in the face of terrorist organizations, up to the Battle of Fajr al-Jouroud in 2017."
 
"The LAF is strongly present in this region and along the entire eastern border, and will always stay faithful to its pledge to protect and defend all citizens, regardless of the sacrifices," he concluded by stressing.
