Beirut: President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, has condemned Israel's targeting of the southern suburbs of Beirut, stating that the attack, which coincided with Lebanon's independence anniversary, is further proof of Israel's disregard for repeated calls to cease its attacks on Lebanon.
According to National News Agency - Lebanon, President Aoun emphasized that the attacks demonstrate Israel's refusal to implement international resolutions and ignore efforts and initiatives aimed at ending the escalation and restoring stability, not only in Lebanon but throughout the region. He highlighted that Lebanon has adhered to the cessation of hostilities for nearly a year and has continually presented initiatives to promote peace.
The President reiterated Lebanon's call for the international community to take responsibility and intervene with strong and serious actions to halt the attacks on Lebanon and its citizens. He stressed the importance of preventing any deterioration that could lead to renewed tension in the region and further bloodshed.
