The Lebanese prime minister is pleading for “all friends of Lebanon” to stop Israeli military action in the country “by all available means” following a large wave of airstrikes.
Writing on X, Nawaf Salam said: “Israel continues to expand its aggressions that have targeted densely populated residential neighborhoods, claiming the lives of unarmed civilians in various parts of Lebanon, particularly in the capital Beirut.”
His plea followed a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which said it has today carried out the “biggest strikes” across Lebanon since the start of its operation against Hezbollah.
Salam said the IDF’s actions have shown an “utter disregard” for international law, adding: “And all friends of Lebanon are called upon to help us stop these aggressions by all available means.”
