Lebanese President condemns Israeli strike and calls for support

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned Israel’s strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, calling on international allies to support the country’s right to full territorial sovereignty. “Israel’s persistence in its aggression requires more effort from us in addressing Lebanon’s friends around the world and rallying them in support of our right to full sovereignty over our land,” Mr Aoun said in a statement released by the presidency, calling Tuesday’s strike “a dangerous warning” of Israel’s intentions against Lebanon.
