Lebanon’s PM tours country’s southern border, says he is working to restore calm

Lebanon’s Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati says his country faces “psychological warfare” in clashes with Israel, but is working to reach calm on the border, according to quotes reported in Hebrew media.

Mikati is touring southern Lebanon to check in on matriculation exams, which are being held despite daily clashes between Israel and Hezbollah on the border.

“The army is Lebanon’s wall. If the army does not have a presence in southern Lebanon, the exams could not be held,” he is quoted as saying.
