BEIRUT, (PIC)
Lebanon announced its intention to submit a complaint to the UN Security Council about Israel’s “strike in Beirut’s southern suburb” and “new Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty.”
On Tuesday evening, the Hamas Movement announced the assassination of Saleh al-Aruri, the deputy chairman of its political bureau, and three of his companions in an attack that targeted a building in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
Lebanon issued a statement later on Tuesday saying it would submit a complaint to the UN Security Council over the “blatant violation” of its territory.
Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has condemned Israel for the Beirut explosion which killed the Hamas deputy leader.
“The explosion is an Israeli crime that clearly aims to bring Lebanon into a new phase of confrontations after the ongoing daily attacks in the south,” Mikati said.
He said that the explosion showed that Israel was resorting to exporting its failures in Gaza.
