evidence: MAG’s demining teams began survey and clearance of the land in Jroud Ras Baalback and Jroud Arsal, in thenorth east of the country, in 2018 following the defeat of ISIS after three years of bitter fighting between ISIS and the Lebanese Armed Forces. [...] General Aoun told the gathering: "Today, after six years, we would like to announce that the outskirts of Aarsal area and Ras Baalback are fully liberated and now completely free of remnants of war. The liberation on both fronts clearly shows our commitments towards our people in these areas and we ask them to return to, invest in and exploit their safe lands. "And here we would like to reconfirm our commitment to clear the remaining Lebanese territories from anything that prevents the people’s access to them."
