He praised their efforts as a message to both Lebanese citizens and the international community, affirming that they demonstrate Lebanon's unity and commitment to its sovereignty through their missions across the country.
"The army's role is vital and essential for the nation's continuity, and nothing will deter us from fulfilling our duty," Haykal told the troops.

In Blat, Marjayoun, Haykal extended his condolences to the family of First Sergeant Jawdat Noura, who was killed on April 20, 2025, following a munitions explosion in the Braikeh area of Nabatieh. He commended Noura's dedication and ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

EU chief backs ICC after US sanctions judges over Netanyahu warrant
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has reiterated European backing for the International Criminal Court, after the US slapped sanctions on four judges it accuses of 'illegitimate and baseless actions' against Washington and its allies, including Israel. 'The Commission fully supports the [ICC and] its officials. The ICC holds perpetrators of the world's gravest crimes to account [and] gives victims a voice,' the European Commission chief posted on X. 'It must be free to act without pressure. We will always stand for global justice [and] the respect of international law.' On Thursday, the Trump administration followed through on a threat to sanction officials associated with the court, issuing sanctions against four judges. Two of the judges, Reine Alapini-Gansou of Benin and Beti Hohler of Slovenia, were sanctioned for their role in the ICC issuing arrest warrants for Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in November, according to the US State Department.
