Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun has condemned the Israeli attack on a Lebanese army vehicle, which killed two officers and a soldier, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement posted on X, his office said that he considered the attack a “flagrant violation of Lebanese sovereignty [and] of international laws and norms”.

He added that the attack comes at a time when “ongoing escalation threatened stability and security in the south [of Lebanon] despite the efforts Lebanon is exerting in the Washington negotiations”.

He offered his “deepest condolences” to those killed and called on the international community to “assume its responsibility and put an end to these repeated attacks”.
