BEIRUT - The Lebanese government said on Friday that only soldiers serving at the frontline with Israel would benefit from a financial incentive that was designed for frontline troops but has been widely applied.
A demand for the strict application of the “Measure 3” scheme was included in a tough draft budget that has triggered strikes and protests in recent weeks, including by retired soldiers. “The government will apply the law that stipulates that Measure 3 is in confrontation with the Israeli enemy,” Information Minister Jamal al-Jarrah said, adding that retirement ages for soldiers would be raised.
The Lebanese army, a big recipient of U.S. military aid, is widely deployed inside the country and has been seen as a pillar of its stability since the end of the 1975-90 civil war.
