#Important Since the start of the war on Hezbollah, we have made it clear: Our war is not against the Lebanese people, but against those who violate Lebanon’s land, burn its sovereignty, and desecrate its symbols.

Our war is against the terrorist Hezbollah, which has never been Lebanese in doctrine, thought, or identity. Therefore, we consider the act of some soldiers burning the Lebanese flag in southern Lebanon to be a violation of orders, unworthy of the values of the Israel Defense Forces, and inconsistent with the goals of our military operations in Lebanon.

We are committed to focusing our operations solely on targeting terrorist elements, without harming innocent Lebanese civilians.

We are not surprised that some of Hezbollah’s mouthpieces are exploiting this incident in an attempt to divert attention from a clear truth: Hezbollah is the one that does not respect the Lebanese flag, neither in its official occasions nor in its celebrations, where Hezbollah terrorists have lowered and desecrated the Lebanese flag on numerous occasions, replacing it with their own flag, which represents loyalty to Iran and the principle of Velayat-e Faqih.
