- On Saturday, an Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in the village of Bourj El-Mlouk, killing one person
BEIRUT: Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Saturday called on the international community to fulfil its commitments to Lebanon and translate its supportive stances into concrete actions.
Speaking at Dar Al-Fatwa on Saturday evening, Aoun stressed the importance of implementing UN Resolution 1701 and enforcing the ceasefire agreement, warning that Lebanon cannot achieve stability while tensions persist along its southern borders.
“The implementation of UN Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement is a pivotal issue requiring attention and care,” Aoun said. He emphasized that Lebanon’s sovereignty, security, and stability depend on the enforcement of international resolutions, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the return of Lebanese detainees.
Aoun underscored that normal life cannot resume in affected areas without concrete steps to uphold Lebanon’s territorial integrity. He urged international actors to take responsibility and ensure that Lebanon's security is safeguarded.
His remarks came amid renewed violence along the Lebanese-Israeli border.
On Saturday, an Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in the village of Bourj El-Mlouk, killing one person.
The Israeli military claimed the victim was a member of Hezbollah, though Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency did not provide further details.
The airstrike is the latest in a series of attacks following a US-brokered ceasefire that ended a 14-month conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in late November.
Despite the truce, sporadic violence has continued, raising concerns over the fragility of the ceasefire and the potential for renewed hostilities.
