Beirut: Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam affirmed that “the Israeli escalation since dawn today is extremely dangerous and undermines efforts to establish stability.”

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Salam stated in a press release that “the martyrs of the Israeli raid on Ansar are not military infrastructure, and neither are the children and women.” He emphasized that dealing with any military infrastructure is the sole responsibility of the state, and this does not give Israel the right to violate Lebanese territory.
