Lebanese President Michel Aoun said that "Lebanon is continuing to fight terrorism after its achievement in liberating its eastern border from Daesh," pointing out that "the current efforts are focused on pursuing sleeper cells and arresting their members."
"The Lebanese Army demonstrated great efficiency during the Fajr El Jouroud Battle," Aoun said during his meeting with deputy commander of the US Central Command, General Charles Brown.
"Good training, courage and support have all resulted in ending the battle with minimum losses," the president said, quoted by the National News Agency (NNA).
Aoun also praised "the US support for the Lebanese Army in training and ammunition provision."
"Lebanon is fully adhering to the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, and appreciates the role played by the UNIFIL to establish peace on the [southern] border," he said.
