BREAKING NEWS: PM SALAM DECLARES START OF WITHDRAWAL. 🇱🇧
Standing in the southern town of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam raised the national flag and officially declared the beginning of the Israeli military pullback under the Washington-sponsored framework.
“This is a national moment today that carries great political and moral dimensions because it represents the beginning of the Israeli withdrawal from our land.”
The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and security personnel have deployed to secure returning residents, clear rubble, and rebuild essential power, water, and telecommunications infrastructure.
“Restoring life to the South is not merely a slogan; it is a national goal… The return of our people to their villages is the ultimate expression of Lebanon’s unity and sovereignty.”
A withdrawal is not the end of Lebanon’s struggle, it is the first step toward rebuilding what war destroyed.
🇱🇧 May every occupied village be freed, every displaced family return home, and every part of Lebanon remain under the authority of the Lebanese state alone.

خبر عاجل: رئيس الوزراء سلام يعلن بدء الانسحاب. 🇱🇧
من مدينة زوتر الغربية جنوب لبنان، رفع رئيس الوزراء نواف سلام العلم الوطني وأعلن رسمياً بدء الانسحاب العسكري الإسرائيلي بموجب اتفاقية برعاية واشنطن.
“إنها لحظة وطنية تحمل أبعاداً سياسية ومعنوية بالغة الأهمية، لأنها تمثل بداية الانسحاب الإسرائيلي من أرضنا.”
انتشرت القوات المسلحة اللبنانية وقوات الأمن لتأمين عودة السكان، وإزالة الأنقاض، وإعادة بناء البنية التحتية الأساسية للكهرباء والمياه والاتصالات.
“إن إعادة الحياة إلى الجنوب ليست مجرد شعار، بل هي هدف وطني… إن عودة شعبنا إلى قراه هي أسمى تعبير عن وحدة لبنان وسيادته.”
الانسحاب ليس نهاية نضال لبنان، بل هو الخطوة الأولى نحو إعادة بناء ما دمرته الحرب.
🇱🇧 نسأل الله تحرير كل قرية محتلة، وعودة كل عائلة نازحة إلى ديارها، وأن تبقى كل شبر من لبنان تحت سيادة الدولة اللبنانية وحدها.

English Script:
Nawaf Salam: I would like to address all Lebanese people, and especially our people in the South, from the town of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh. This is a national moment today that carries great political and moral dimensions because it represents the beginning of the Israeli withdrawal from our land. From the beginning, we emphasized that our goal is the complete Israeli withdrawal from all our lands. Today is just a beginning, but we are determined and steadfast, mobilizing all our political and diplomatic efforts to ensure a total withdrawal from all our territories. My second message is to our people in the South: we have begun mobilizing all our capabilities. The Army and security forces are present here to protect our returning people, just as the Army has begun its deployment today. We intend to complete the process of opening roads, removing rubble, and securing basic services so that our people can return to their homes and villages with safety and dignity. We have already started preparations to restore essential services including water, electricity, and telecommunications, and are providing prefabricated houses to support this transitional phase. Restoring life to the South is not merely a slogan; it is a national goal that we will pursue until the withdrawal is finished and every citizen returns home. The return of our people to their villages and homes today is the ultimate expression of Lebanon’s unity and sovereignty.
