The Lebanese President calls on the international community to intervene forcefully to stop Israel’s attacks

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called on the international community on Sunday to “intervene strongly and seriously” to stop Israeli attacks on his country after a strike on the southern suburb of Beirut that Israel said targeted Hezbollah’s “chief of staff.”

Aoun said in a statement that Lebanon “renews its call on the international community to assume its responsibility and intervene strongly and seriously to stop the attacks on Lebanon and its people to prevent any deterioration that will bring tension back to the region.”
