Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the strikes, accusing Israel of violating the cessation of hostilities and threatening Lebanon’s sovereignty.
UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, confirmed it is working closely with the Lebanese army to reinforce stability, highlighting that with its support, Lebanese forces have redeployed across more than 120 positions in southern Lebanon in line with UN Resolution 1701.
