President Michel Aoun has issued a statement marking the occasion of Eid al-Adha, emphasizing the critical need for compassion and collective solidarity during a period of significant hardship.

In his message, the president stressed that the current circumstances demand unprecedented levels of mutual support and cohesion. His remarks came against the backdrop of ongoing Israeli military operations that have resulted in casualties, injuries, and displacement of civilians unable to participate in the holiday celebrations.

Aoun highlighted the importance of unity and togetherness as Lebanon confronts both the immediate humanitarian crisis and the broader security challenges facing the nation. The president's statement underscored the toll of recent hostilities on the civilian population, particularly those who have been forced to flee their homes.
