"Israel" has issued a threat to attack three towns in the Lebanese South: Meis al-Jabal, Debbine, and Kfar Tebnit, on Thursday. Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the area stressed that the threatened locations fall within civilian neighborhoods.

Simultaneously, Israeli reconnaissance drones were heavily surveilling the towns.

Shortly after the initial warning, Israeli warplanes invaded Lebanese airspace and launched two airstrikes on Meis al-Jabal, injuring one civilian.

Nawaf Salam condemns Israeli aggression

The Prime Minister called on the international community, especially the countries sponsoring the ceasefire agreement, to exert maximum pressure on the Israeli entity to immediately cease its attacks and return to full compliance, including withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territories, ceasing all attacks, and releasing Lebanese prisoners.

رداً على التهديدات التي أطلقها الجيش الإسرائيلي باستهداف بلدات ميس الجبل، كفرتبنيت، ودبّين، وما رافقها من إنذارات عاجلة لإخلاء المنازل، يهمني ان اكرر إنّ الحكومة اللبنانية، المتمسكة بمسار وقف الأعمال العدائية، تؤكد أنّها منخرطة في اجتماعات الميكانيزم، لكن السؤال المشروع اليوم:…
