Geagea slams Hezbollah for 'exposing Lebanon to death and destruction'

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea accused Hezbollah of exposing Lebanon and the Lebanese to destruction and death by launching attacks on northern Israel in support of Gaza.

"How did Hezbollah help Palestinians in Gaza," Geagea asked in a meeting Friday with the Russian Ambassador to Beirut, adding that the situation in Gaza can't get any worse.

"What are the results of Hezbollah's attacks except exposing Lebanon and its people to destruction and death?" Geagea decried, as he stressed the need to implement U.N. Resolution 1701 "in order to spare Lebanon the risk of a major war on its southern borders."

Hezbollah and its arch-foe Israel have been exchanging near-daily fire across the border since the Israel-Hamas war broke out on October 7.
