The Army's Officers Club in Yerzi The Officers' Club building in Yerzi was the headquarters of the 5th Brigade commanded by General Kanaan, at the time of his assassination. Few years earlier, he had personally initiated the buying by the Lebanese Army of this war-time neglected villa.
After his martyrdom, the Army converted the building into an Officers Club and named it after him ("Khalil Kanaan Building") to honor his memory.
In September 2011, on the 25th anniversary of his assassination, a statue was unveiled at the club under the patronage of Army Commander, General Kahwagi.
