Lebanon president denounces Israeli attacks and destruction in south

Lebanon president denounces Israeli attacks and destruction in south Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has condemned what he described as Israel’s “repeated attacks”, including the killing of civilians and destruction of homes and property. Aoun said the attacks, which he said had killed “innocent civilians, including children and women”, were undermining efforts to prevent further escalation in southern Lebanon and across the region. Aoun said Lebanon supports renewing the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) and is working with French President Emmanuel Macron to facilitate the extension.
