HELLO EVERYONE
Hello everyone, find here all the news on the conflict in the Middle East.
The Lebanese Prime Minister accused Israel on Friday of refusing any ceasefire with Hezbollah, after a series of airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut, the first this week on this stronghold of the Islamist movement. The Israeli air force carried out new strikes in Lebanon, including at least ten strikes on the southern suburbs of the capital which caused strong explosions and transformed entire buildings into piles of rubble and smoking ashes.
These strikes came a few hours after a visit to Jerusalem by two American emissaries who tried to negotiate an outcome to the war pitting Israel against Hezbollah since September as well as that against the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip, launched there over a year ago.
The fact that Israel “again targeted the southern suburbs of Beirut” and led “destructive raids are all indicators which confirm its refusal of all efforts made to obtain a ceasefire”declared Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati.
The Israeli army claimed to have struck targets of the pro-Iranian movement in the Beirut and Nabatiyeh areas in the south. Bombings also targeted the region of Baalbeck (east), leaving at least 52 dead and 72 injured according to the Lebanese authorities, and the city of Tire (south).
