Lebanon’s speaker of parliament has accused Israel of violating the rules of engagement and UN Resolution 1701 — intended to resolve the 2006 Lebanon War — while carrying out the attacks since October 7, Al Jazeera reports.

“The daily Israeli escalation is targeting the depth of residential areas, civilians and even ambulances and journalists,” Nabih Berri said.

Caretaker PM Najib Mikati added that while Lebanon sought “permanent stability and a permanent peaceful solution”, it was “receiving warnings through international envoys about a war on Lebanon”.
