- Lebanese Forces haven't taken up arms since 2005, but that they have 50,000 fighters that can be called up
- "We are the war generation. I was born in 1970. I was born during a war, and I still live in a war.
- We have 15,000 fighters in Zahle and Deir Al-Ahmar alone
Christian Lebanese Forces official Ibrahim El-Sakr said in an interview that was uploaded to the Bel Moubasher YouTube channel on November 22, 2020 that the Lebanese Forces haven't taken up arms since 2005, but that they have 50,000 fighters that can be called up in case security chaos breaks out in Lebanon.
El-Sakr: "We gave up our weapons, and in 2005, after Dr. Geagea was released – and in my view, he was held hostage... He never asked anyone to take up arms. The army and security forces always protect us, but whenever there is a need for us to stand alongside the army – the Lebanese Forces have always stood in defense of Lebanon and its cedar."
