Lebanon’s president urges US, France to pressure Israel to end violations

Joseph Aoun has condemned the Israeli attack on Beirut and called on the US and France to “assume their responsibility” as the sponsors of the ceasefire agreement and tell Israel to end its violations of the deal, Al Jazeera reports.

The Lebanese president said Israel is undermining stability in Lebanon and escalating tensions, posing “real dangers to the security” of the region.

Smoke could be seen rising from the Beirut suburbs of Dahiyeh after the Israeli strike, but there have been no reports of casualties.
