BEIRUT: The scene starts at a vibrant street bustling with passers-by before the setting suddenly shifts to a dim room in a worn out warehouse where a skinny figure meticulously assembles a bomb.
The Army’s latest video campaign was heavily circulated across social media platforms Thursday, drawing off the popular phrase “We are all the Lebanese Army,” by turning what appears to be a normal civilian population in to a military brigade hounding after a wanted terrorist.
Peering out the crevices in the walls and a gap in the window, the abovementioned terrorist is suddenly startled by the sight of black leather combat boots marching outside the warehouse.
Flinging himself to the entrance, the terrorist peeks through the narrow door opening:
The passers-by, previously dressed in regular clothes, suddenly are transformed into Army soldiers.
Two girls walking down the street, sporting baby blue and salmon colored tops, become two female cadets dressed in camouflage print.
Similarly, dressed in a drab grey shirt and carrying a soccer ball, a young child becomes another scowling soldier in the terrorist’s paranoid hallucination.
Looking up, the terrorist spots a uniformed old lady, throwing out two more uniforms on the balcony railing, leaving them out to dry.
Awe struck by how an entire street now cradled a population of soldiers, the man turns around in a final attempt for a desperate flee.
Barely making it past the corner, the terrorist falls to his knees, as two military rifles point to his head.
“We are all the Army in the face of terrorism” read the message displayed at the end of the Lebanese Army’s latest promotional video.
