Lebanese government condemns ‘all acts of violence and aggression against civilians’
The Lebanese government condemns “all acts of violence and aggression against civilians,” after 11 people were killed in a rocket attack on the Golan Heights town of Majdal Shams.
“Targeting civilians is a flagrant violation of international law and goes against the principles of humanity,” a government statement says, calling “for an immediate cessation of hostilities” after months of cross-border exchanges between Hezbollah and Israeli forces.
