Mikati urges world to stop Israel's 'terrorist aggression'

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati on Friday condemned “the continuation of the Israeli attacks on the south and the deliberate killing of its people.”

During a Cabinet session, Mikati also decried “the destruction of towns and the burning of crops,” calling on the international community to “put an end to the destructive and terrorist aggression.”

“In turn, we will resort to the competent international authorities and we reiterate our commitment to the full implementation of Resolution 1701,” which ended the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, Mikati added.

His remarks come hours after an Israeli airstrike on the southern town of Jannata killed two women and wounded around 12 people.
