Lebanon condemns deadly Zionist strikes on south and east

Lebanon’s president on Saturday condemned deadly “Israeli” attacks on his country carried out a day prior, the latest despite a ceasefire.

In a statement, Joseph Aoun called the attacks “a blatant act of aggression aimed at thwarting diplomatic efforts” by the United States and other nations to establish stability.

A lawmaker from Hezbollah called on Beirut to suspend meetings of a multinational committee tasked with monitoring the truce.

Washington is one of five members on the committee overseeing the ceasefire implemented in November 2024, with the body scheduled to meet again next week.

The Friday attacks on southern and eastern Lebanon killed 12 people, according to the health ministry, 10 of them in the east of the country.

The latest attacks came amid repeated Zionist violations of the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024, killing and wounding hundreds of Lebanese. The Zionist forces continue to occupy five Lebanese hilltops seized during the latest war, in addition to other Lebanese areas it has held for decades.
