Lebanon’s caretaker PM Najib Mikati has invited Western diplomats for an “emergency meeting” at the government palace to discuss Israel’s ongoing “violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty and aggressions”, Al Jazeera reports.

Mikati called for the meeting after three civil defence volunteers were killed in an Israeli strike in the southern Lebanese town of Froun on Friday.

Mikati said the aim of the meeting is “to hold everyone accountable for stopping the ongoing Israeli aggression against Lebanon and to pressure the Israeli enemy, which ignores any law and continues to fuel its crimes against Lebanon and the Lebanese people”.
