The Lebanese army is determined to restore order across the country, military command said on Monday, as violence hit parts of the capital and the northern port of Tripoli and troops came under fire.
The army is "committed to its role of stopping security breaches and maintaining civil order," a statement said.
"Recent developments prove decidedly that the country is going through a critical time, and the level of tension in some areas has reached unprecedented levels," it said.
