Israel’s attacks on Lebanon a ‘blatant assault’ on country’s sovereignty: PM

“Israel is once again targeting peaceful civilians, this time in the capital of the south,” Salam’s office said in a statement, Al Jazeera reported.

“Targeting the city of Sidon, or any other Lebanese region, is a blatant assault on Lebanese sovereignty and a clear violation of Resolution 1701 and the security arrangements agreement for the cessation of hostilities.”

The statement added: “President Salam stresses the need to exert maximum pressure on Israel to compel it to halt its ongoing attacks on various areas, particularly residential areas, emphasizing that a complete cessation of military operations is necessary.”

The Israeli army claims it assassinated a Hamas official, but reports say the strike also killed two of his family members.
