TEHRAN (Defapress) - Mikati remarked that the recent Israeli aggression against the southern Lebanese village of Froun, located in the Bint Jbeil district, is not unexpected, given that the occupying regime has consistently perpetrated various offenses across Lebanon and the occupied Palestinian territories.

He emphasized Israel's disregard for international laws and regulations, calling upon Western ambassadors and representatives from international organizations to attend an extraordinary meeting scheduled in Beirut on Monday to discuss the ongoing conflicts.

Additionally, Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Rashid Bou Habib indicated that Israel has communicated through intermediaries that it will continue its attacks on Lebanon, regardless of any ceasefire agreement that may be established in Gaza.
