Arab League condemns Israeli strikes on Lebanon as 'dangerous escalation' The Arab League has condemned Israel’s deadly strikes on Lebanon that killed 11 people and destroyed dozens of homes as “a dangerous escalation that threatens to derail any efforts aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict”. In a statement, a spokesman of the League said: "Israel’s policies and practices blatantly expose the occupation’s intentions to prolong the confrontations, obstruct negotiations, and impose a new reality on the ground that is completely unacceptable and rejected. ” The spokesman also warned that the conflict could spread unless the international community stops Israel’s “war machine” and compels it to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for a full cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
