Salam condemns Israeli strike on Sidon
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned Friday an Israeli strike on the port city of Sidon as a "flagrant attack on Lebanese sovereignty" and a breach of the November 27 ceasefire.
Hamas commander Hassan Farhat was killed in the strike on his apartment along with his daughter and his son, also a member of the Palestinian group’s military wing.
A November ceasefire largely ended the war between Israel and Hezbollah, but Israel has continued to conduct strikes in south and east Lebanon despite the truce and has targeted Beirut's southern suburbs twice since the truce went into effect.
The Israeli army has also kept troops in five places in south Lebanon it deems "strategic".
