Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam earlier Monday made a visit to the Eastern region of Bekaa, which was bombed by the Israeli military tonight.
“I have repeatedly stated that there is no stability in the country without Israel’s complete withdrawal from Lebanon and the cessation of its aggressive actions,” he wrote in a post on X, adding that weapons must be confined to the state alone for Lebanese people to feel safe.
Salam stated that the country also needs safety nets to protect its citizens and “balanced development across the homeland”.
This comes as the prime minister, along with President Joseph Aoun and parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, are expected to meet with US envoy Tom Barrack in Beirut to discuss the future of Lebanon.
Israel launched an assault on Lebanon on October 8, 2023 that escalated into a full-scale war by September 23, 2024. The conflict has killed more than 4,000 people, wounded over 17,000 and displaced nearly 1.4 million, according to official data.
Israeli forces have conducted near-daily attacks in Southern Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbollah’s activities despite a November ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
The truce ended months of cross-border warfare between Israel and the Lebanese resistance group.
Lebanese authorities have reported nearly 3,000 Israeli violations of the truce including the deaths of at least 231 people and injuries to more than 500 since the agreement was signed.
Under the ceasefire deal, Israel was supposed to fully withdraw from Southern Lebanon by January 26, but the deadline was extended to February 18 after Tel Aviv refused to comply.
Israel still maintains a military presence at five border outposts.
