JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Following the agreement signed between Israel and Lebanon, the Lebanese Army today warned against any reckless actions that could threaten civil peace and stressed the importance of unity and solidarity, according to a Ynet report.

In its statement, the Lebanese Army called on citizens to act responsibly in light of calls for demonstrations and protests in Beirut and other areas against the agreement between Israel and Lebanon. The army emphasized “the importance of unity and solidarity in order to overcome the dangers threatening the country,” and added that it “will not allow any breach of security or harm to civil peace through actions with unpredictable consequences, including blocking roads or trespassing on public or private property.”

The army’s statement came after Naim Qassem, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General, attacked the framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon, calling it “invalid and a crossing of red lines.”

Qassem said in a statement that the framework agreement should be canceled and replaced with a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States. “No one has the right to deprive the Lebanese people of their right to defend themselves and their land against the occupier of our land and the murderer of our people.”

Earlier on Saturday, Nabih Berri, Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, warned Lebanon’s citizens against sectarian conflict.

On Friday, Hezbollah supporters held protests in Beirut’s Dahieh district against the agreement. The demonstrations were dispersed by force by Lebanese security forces. Hezbollah sought to contain the fallout from the dispersal of its supporters. Sources close to the terrorist organization told RED TV that Hezbollah was not behind Friday’s protest, claiming it was “spontaneous,” and that the organization condemns any attack on the Lebanese Army.

Meanwhile, a political figure from the camp opposed to Hezbollah told Kan News that, in their view, the framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon is a historic achievement. According to the source, the agreement isolates Hezbollah, partly because it explicitly states the need for the group to disarm. “On the diplomatic level, the work has been done. The question now is implementation on the ground, and that could take time.”

In the same context, the Lebanese source told Kan 11 correspondent Roi Kais that he does not expect Hezbollah to “burn the whole club down”—meaning completely derail the process—but he does expect the terrorist organization to work to obstruct implementation of the agreement and delay the deployment of the Lebanese Army. However, he said Hezbollah and its patron, Iran, are in a difficult position, because obstructing the agreement’s implementation would also delay Israel’s withdrawal.

For now, Hezbollah is mainly exerting heavy public pressure on the government in Beirut to reverse course, even though Hezbollah ministers remain part of the government that signed the agreement. From the perspective of Lebanon’s leadership, the train has already left the station, based on the understanding that had they not signed the agreement, Iran would have claimed credit for securing the Israeli withdrawal.

Meanwhile, the Shiite Amal Movement issued a written statement regarding the framework agreement signed yesterday between Israel and Lebanon:

“We do not accept the agreement signed between Lebanon and Israel, and we oppose direct negotiations with the enemy. This agreement is unbalanced and, through most of its provisions, establishes a reality that favors the enemy at the expense of Lebanon’s national interest, while containing political and sovereignty-related dangers. The agreement does not constitute a basis for a just settlement that preserves Lebanon’s rights and protects its sovereignty and institutions.”
