Mikati condemns 'blatant Israeli aggression' on Dahieh

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati on Tuesday condemned an Israeli strike on Hezbollah's stronghold in Beirut's southern suburbs that killed at least one person and wounded 68 others, days after Israel vowed to retaliate over deadly rocket fire on the occupied Golan Heights that it said came from Lebanon.

Mikati "condemned the blatant Israeli aggression on the southern suburbs of Beirut," the premier's office said in a statement, describing it as a "criminal act" in a "series of aggressive operations killing civilians in clear and explicit violation of international law."
