Beirut: House Speaker Nabih Berri strongly condemned today's massacre perpetrated by Israeli drones in the city of Bint Jbeil, which claimed the lives of five martyrs, including children.
According to National News Agency - Lebanon, Berri stated: "Five martyrs, a father, three of his children, and their wounded mother, were shed in cold blood in the city of Bint Jbeil, in full view of the technical committee charged with monitoring the ceasefire, following its meeting in Naqoura, in the presence of US envoy Ortagus."
He further remarked, "The blood of these Lebanese children, their father, and their wounded mother, who hold American citizenship, is on the conscience of those gathered in Naqoura, and the global demonstration that has begun to gather at the United Nations headquarters."
Berri questioned, "Is it Lebanese childhood that poses an existential threat to the Israeli entity? Or is it this entity's behavior, in killing without deterrence or accountability, that constitutes a real threat to international peace and security?"
The Speaker concluded with a call for divine mercy, saying, "May God have mercy upon the martyrs, and a speedy recovery to the wounded."
