“A blatant violation of an international agreement”

Throughout Lebanon, Israel has violated the ceasefire on a daily basis in the seven months since its signing, according to the Lebanese government of President Joseph Aoun, the Arab countries and human rights groups.

AUON appealed to the United States and France, the guards of the ceasefire in November, to curb Israel’s attacks.

Speaking late on Thursday, Aoun expressed a “strong condemnation of the Israeli aggression”, as the attacks were described as “a flagrant violation of an international agreement … on the eve of a sacred religious festival.”
