Lebanese PM calls for ‘pressure on Israel’ to reach truce as Hezbollah keeps up rocket fire

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati calls for “pressure on Israel” for a ceasefire as Hezbollah continued to fire rockets and launch drones at Israel.

Mikati says he backed US and French efforts for a truce, as the official National News Agency reported an Israeli strike south of Beirut. An AFP journalist heard a huge blast and saw columns of smoke billowing above the site of the hit.
