Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has urged the international community to honor its commitments to Lebanon and translate its support into tangible action.
Speaking at Dar Al-Fatwa on Saturday, he emphasized the need for full implementation of UN Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement, warning that Lebanon cannot achieve stability while tensions persist along its southern borders.
Aoun stressed that Lebanon’s security depends on enforcing international resolutions, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the return of Lebanese detainees. He called on global actors to take responsibility in safeguarding Lebanon’s territorial integrity.
His remarks came as violence escalated along the Lebanese-Israeli border. An Israeli drone strike on Saturday targeted a vehicle in Bourj El-Mlouk, killing one person. The Israeli military claimed the victim was a Hezbollah member, though Lebanon’s state-run media did not confirm details.
The attack is the latest since a US-brokered ceasefire ended a 14-month conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in November. However, sporadic violence has continued, raising concerns over the ceasefire’s fragility and the risk of renewed hostilities.
