Lebanon PM cancels trip to UN General Assembly after attacks

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati says he had canceled a trip to the United Nations General Assembly and decries “horrific massacres” after deadly attacks targeting Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon blamed on Israel.

Mikati says in a statement that he canceled his trip “in light of the developments linked to the Israeli aggression on Lebanon,” after this week saw an Israeli strike that killed top Hezbollah commanders in Beirut’s southern suburbs and widespread attacks on Hezbollah communications devices blamed on Israel.
