Lebanese President Joseph Aoun urges Washington and the international community to help stop Israeli attacks after strikes today killed at least four people amid a truce and Israel-Lebanon talks.
The strikes, which also damaged government premises and destroyed an out-of-service hospital, were “a dangerous escalation… reaching Lebanese state institutions” and health facilities, Aoun says in a statement, calling on the US and other countries “to urgently act to stop these violations.”
The IDF said the airstrikes in southern Lebanon were in response to a Hezbollah drone attack and targeted members of the terror group and its infrastructure.
