Army Takes Measures to Ensure Public Safety during Holidays
The Lebanese army command said Friday that army units have taken exceptional security measures on the occasion of the holidays.
“Army units carried out and are still taking security and exceptional measures around places of worship and their surroundings, major roads and shopping areas,” the military command said in a communique.
It added that further measures were taken to guarantee the safety of public institutions, tourism areas and foreign missions.
The measures include deploying soldiers, conducting patrols and establishing checkpoints.
The communique was released a day after Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said a traffic control center will be monitoring the traffic via cameras to enable a rapid response by the Internal Security Forces and emergency teams during the holidays.
He also said more security measures will be taken around places of worship.
