THE WAR AGAINST

“South Lebanon- south lebanese army”

From 1975 to 2005, Lebanon lost definitely its Prosperity, Stability, Sovereignty, Independence and Freedom.

But the pattern of harassment, kidnappings and assassinations by PLO operatives and Syrians in Palestinian uniforms had been ongoing since the mid-1960, when the PLO was founded, long before the events of 1968-1969 and 1975.
Prior to the founding of the PLO, Syria's rejection of Lebanon's right to exist made it interfere in Lebanese affairs whenever it could: On September 12, 1957 and May 3-8, 1958, when a contingent of Internal Security Forces (ISF) was attacked and its members killed in Deir El Ashayer; when 200 Syrian soldiers attacked and occupied the village of Kfarchouba, in south Lebanon, killing the villagers and an officer; and when 5 customs officers were assassinated in cold blood at Masnaa, the crossing point at the Lebanese-Syrian borders.

From June to December 1958 the Lebanese army lost 35 soldiers.

Since that period, Palestinians/Syrians/ and later Syrian/Iranian agents kidnapped, tortured, massacred, assassinated, slaughtered, raped and booby-trapped hundreds of Innocent civilians, members of clergy, and Lebanese Army soldiers in the South, like in all the areas of Lebanon.

In the South they attacked the villages of Jezzine, Kfarfalouss, Naqura, Bint Jbeil, Marjaayoun, Qoleiaa, Hasbaya, Debil, Deir Mimass, Ain El Mir, Roum, Anan, Shuwaya, Labaa, Rmeish, Kfarhouna, Aramta, Rihane, Ain Ebel, Beit Lif, Tebnine, Bkassine, Aytoula, El Taybeh, Sabbah, Houla and other regions of the South. They burned down and razed to the ground houses, churches, schools, the only two available hospitals, and entire villages to occupy the remaining (8%) Lebanese territory that was still in 2000 free from the Syrian/Palestinian/Iranian occupation, in order to undermine the state of lull between Lebanon and Israel, forcing Lebanon to remain until this day, the only active war front against Israel, under their unique control (From Fattah Land to Hezbo Land).

An Officer of the South Lebanon Army reported to the media that between 1978 and 2000, 621 soldiers and 200 civilians were killed and assassinated, while 230 soldiers and 80 civilians were maimed. It was later confirmed that the overall number reached up to 1630 victims.

1976:

The Lebanese Army units that were officially dispatched to the South in 1976, known as the SLA (South Lebanon Army), were composed as a start of a nucleus of 600 regular Lebanese Army soldiers. In 1978, they were cut off from the central government of Beirut by the PLO and by renegade units of the Lebanese Army called "The Arab Army of Lebanon" under the command of the deserter Lieutenant Ahmed Al Khatib, but the South Lebanese Army remained on the payroll of the Lebanese Army of Yarzé and the government until May 2000.
When the Syrian completed the takeover of the country in 1990, they remained loyal to the pledge of defending their country for decades, even after their own government that was under Syrian control branded them as the enemy.
The Commanding officers were officially designated by the Beirut Government and included over the years Saad Haddad, Sami Chidiac, and Antoine Lahad.

The number of soldiers reached 3000 and up to 5000 at the peak of their Victory.
The inhabitants of the region joined the South Lebanon Army to defend their regions against Syro/Palestino/Iranian invasions; the same way as the “ANSARS” did when they joined Prime Minister, General Michel Aoun in Baabda for the war of Liberation in 1989.

In 1976, the South Lebanese Army was also known by its first name as « The Army of the
Free Lebanon” (Jeych Lebnaan el Horr).

The Command of the Lebanese Army in Yarzé by its Army Commander General Hanna Said and the Ministry of Defense issued and signed a military communiqué in 1976, assigning Major Saad Haddad to the Command of the South Lebanon Army.
He was appointed Commander of the Division of Al Qoleiaa (Qaed Qatibet al Qoleiaa) and the villages of Qoleiaa, Bourj El Moulouq, Qawqaba, Rmeich, Debil, Ain Ebel and Jdeidet Marjaayoun. The Missions assigned to that command included the command functions of

regrouping the soldiers who fled after the fall of their barracks under the Palestinian Organization and Allies’ attacks;
defending the regions and villages neighboring the zones of conflicts against their massacres and invasions;
keeping the official status of lull between Lebanon and Israel in order not to degenerate the entire region into a Lebanese/Israeli war.

Major Saad Haddad was also assigned to represent the Government in the South for all diplomatic contacts with the United Nations’ envoys.

Between 1979 and 1982, the Syrians pressured and forced President Elias Sarkis to charge Major Saad Haddad and its Army of high treason, starting by cutting off their pay.
The pressure became more intense when the Syrians’ conspiracy to send to the South a Lebanese Army division, called Qawqaba, in order to attack and replace the South Lebanon Army, failed. The refusal of Major Saad Haddad to collaborate with the Syrians by correspondence or direct contacts only worsened the situation and increased the Syrians’ menace.
Kurt Valdheim and Larskin from the UNIFIL, who were called to keep official contacts ongoing with Major Saad Haddad, unveiled and publicly criticized the Lebanese Government for using a double and confusing position towards Saad Haddad and the United Nations..

After General Hanna Said’s departure, the Army Commander General Victor Khoury, signed and addressed an official military communiqué (Muzzaqaret El Khedme El Rasmiyeh) to Major Saad Haddad in order to validate the continuity of his functions in the South. All official correspondence that occurred between them, were being addressed as, “From the Army Commander General Victor Khoury to Commander of Al Sharqi Division, Major Saad Haddad…”

After the death of Major Saad Haddad in January 1984, the Command of the Army along with President Camille Chamoun’s support appointed retired General, Antoine Lahad, as Commander of the South Lebanese Army.

The Command of the Army has been paying salaries since 1976 and up until the year 2000, with the exception of a few years dating from 1979 to 1982.
Moreover, whenever the roads between Marjaayoun and Beirut were shut down and other means of transportation were quite impossible for the disposition of salaries, the officer in charge, assigned by the Command of the Army of Yarzé, was entering Marjaayoun by sea through the port of Haifa in Israel.

Following the Presidential instruction, the South Lebanese Army opened the road to Israel for the sole purpose of survival and humanitarian reasons (lack of hospitals, starvation, illnesses….) and in no case as a means of collaboration.
President Sleiman Franjiyeh gave the instruction and the right to use the only opened door to Israel. He had no other alternatives than, either to leave the Southerners die and give in to diseases, injuries, starvation…or to save them, allowing them to access Israel’s borders. President Franjieh based his choice uniquely on a conscientious perspective.

President Camille Chamoun encouraged and congratulated publicly the bravery of the South Lebanese Army through its Commander, “Thank to Major Saad Haddad and his Army, the South will not face the same destiny as other regions like Damour, Jiyyeh, Saaidiyet did… the Genocide and the total Exodus”…

=======

Today, the rest of them in Enforced Exile have to pay the price of their acts, acts of loyalty, honor, dignity and patriotism.

Today, they are called to stand before the “Justice”!
What kind of Justice is that? What kind of Justice dares to persecute, arrest, trial or even face for one second those who fought like Heroes, like Patriots?

Do we also have to thank them for not labeling them any longer as “Traitors” and consider it as an act of Mercy???

Abu Samira, a 70-year-old man, and 65-year Ramez Boulos, from Qoleiaa, both died under torture and from ill-treatment, in the year 2000 after they surrendered. Abu Samira died in Oberly’s Jail; Ramez Boulos succumbed home after they departed him agonizing from ill-treatment, in Roumieh’s prison;

Hundred of Southerners, civilians, soldiers and entire Families

HAVE BEEN ABANDONED OR FORGOTTEN...

It is true that their fate is in God’s hands but it is also in yours.
Do not keep silent, let the truth explode…Let them rest in peace…
