Lebanon urges US to put pressure on Zionist entity to stop attacks and demolitions
Lebanon’s president has urged the United States to put pressure on “Israel” to cease fire and stop home demolitions in south Lebanon, the presidency said on Monday, as the death toll from Zionist attacks rose.
Lebanon’s health ministry said 74 people had been killed by “Israeli” strikes in the last three days despite a truce announced last month, a spokesperson said.
Tehran said it had demanded security for Lebanon as part of a proposal for ending the wider war with the U.S. and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s proposal.
The Lebanese health ministry spokesperson said the victims since Saturday had been killed in various “Israeli” strikes, including one that killed at least seven people in the southern town of Saksakiyeh.
According to the ministry, 2,869 people had been killed since March 2, including 584 medics, women and minors. Moreover, some 1.2 million people have been displaced from their homes, many of them fleeing from the south.
