French FM decries ‘unacceptable’ Israeli strikes on Lebanon, says they undermine Iran truce
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePARIS, France — France’s foreign minister condemns “unacceptable” Israeli strikes on Lebanon, warning they could undermine the fragile US-Iran ceasefire.
“These attacks are all the more unacceptable as they undermine the temporary ceasefire reached yesterday between the United States and Iran,” Jean-Noel Barrot tells France Inter radio, a day after Lebanon reported Israeli strikes killed at least 182 people and wounded 890.
The figures provided by Lebanon do not differentiate between combatants and civilians.
Israel said its strikes yesterday had been planned for weeks and targeted Hezbollah sites and members.
