Lebanon PM says Israel counter-strike on south Beirut a ‘dangerous escalation’
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam calls the first Israeli strike on south Beirut since a November ceasefire between it and Hezbollah a “dangerous escalation,” a statement from his office says.
Salam condemns the Israeli raid on the Hezbollah bastion as “a dangerous escalation” and denounces “Israeli attacks that target civilians and safe residential areas where schools and universities are located,” according to the statement.
The Israeli strike came in response to projectiles launched at northern Israel early Friday morning.
