Mikati rejects 'escalation' from Lebanese soil after rockets on Israel

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said Thursday Lebanon "refuses any escalation from its territory," condemning the barrage of rockets fired towards Israel from its soil.

Mikati said in a statement that Lebanon "rejects the use of its territory to carry out operations that destabilize the situation," after Israel threatened to retaliate against Palestinian groups it accused of the attack.
