Lebanon PM denounces Israel’s ‘destructive plan’ amid IDF strikes on Hezbollah
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati denounces intense Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in east and south Lebanon as a “destructive plan.”
“The continuing Israeli aggression on Lebanon is a war of extermination in every sense of the word and a destructive plan that aims to destroy Lebanese villages and towns,” Mikati tells a cabinet meeting.
He urges “the United Nations and the General Assembly and influential countries… to deter the [Israeli] aggression.”
