Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati issued a statement condemning an Israeli airstrike on the southern Lebanese town of Khiam, less than 24 hours after the Lebanese army began its deployment in Khiam and Marjayoun, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement.
The strike resulted in casualties, with both fatalities and injuries reported.
"This blatant treachery violates all commitments made by the parties sponsoring the ceasefire agreement, namely the United States and France," Mikati stated. "They must provide a clear stance on what has occurred and take action to curb Israeli aggression."
The Prime Minister further called on the monitoring committee responsible for overseeing the ceasefire's implementation to address this violation decisively and prevent its recurrence.
