Al-Mustaqbal: Sleiman stresses dialogue, softer rhetoric ... Jumblatt’s position absent "in solidarity with the oppressed peoples"
Army confronts Israeli violation at Wazzani

The 66th anniversary of the Lebanese Army Day coincided with an Israeli violation at Wazzani, which stressed the importance of the army's pivotal role and the need to provide Lebanon with equipment so that the military can embark on a steady pace and confident about overcoming the difficulties and face every lurking enemy.
At the time Hezbollah took the opportunity of the Israeli aggression to assert that "any attack on any party as part of the ‘army, the people, the resistance’ equation is an attack on Lebanon as a whole," the swift intervention by the Lebanese Army put an end to what could have been a serious deterioration on the border.
On the other hand, the ceremony to mark Army Day did not prevent President Michel Sleiman from conducting further consultations in an effort to revive national dialogue. In this respect he discussed ways to relaunch all-party talks with Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea.

Meanwhile, MP Walid Jumblatt did not write his weekly editorial in Al-Anbaa magazine Monday, and the Progressive Socialist Party said that the "time is not a time for delivering speeches and giving advice or drowning in boring Lebanese details, but it’s time for solidarity, though moral, with the oppressed peoples and that’s why Jumblatt’s editorial won’t come out today [Monday].

An-Nahar: Lebanese-Israeli confrontation on eve of delineating economic zone
Sleiman: We cannot accept a truce or cold war

The brief confrontation between the Lebanese Army and Israeli forces in the Wazzani region Monday morning was not completely over as just before midnight Israeli troops brought 10 tanks and bulldozers, and using flood lights, began strengthening their positions and erecting earth mounds across the [border] fence.
The confrontation occurred after less than a week since the attack against the French UNIFIL contingent in Sidon and also coincided with Lebanese Army Day. But most importantly the incident came on the eve of preparations to settle the controversial issue of Lebanon’s maritime border with Israel via a draft law to delineate the exclusive economic zone.

Meanwhile, President Michel Sleiman's speech for Army Day focused on national dialogue, urging political leaders to tone down their rhetoric and explaining that his goal was to "protect Lebanon in the face of the dangers as well as the internal and external factors that threaten it."
Sleiman also noted that dialogue "does not only seek to resolve sticking issues, but also to proactively avoid conflicts (...) and, consequently, dispel feelings by some that Lebanon is in a state of truce between two armed conflicts, or is in a state of a cold civil war, a matter which we cannot accept."
