Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati says the country “refuses any escalation from its territory,” condemning the barrage of rockets fired towards Israel from its soil.

Mikati says in a statement that Lebanon “rejects the use of its territory to carry out operations that destabilize the situation,” after Israel threatened to retaliate against Palestinian groups it accused of the attack.
