Lebanese President Urges U.S. to Pressure Israel Amid Rising Death Toll

Lebanese President Urges U.S. to Pressure Israel Amid Rising Death Toll

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has called on the United States to exert pressure on Israel to cease its military operations in southern Lebanon. This appeal comes as the Lebanese health ministry reports that 74 people have been killed by Israeli strikes over the past three days, despite a previously announced truce. The conflict, which reignited on March 2, involves the Iran-backed group Hezbollah and the Israeli military. Hostilities have persisted even after a ceasefire was declared by President Trump on April 16. The Lebanese government is particularly concerned about the demolition of homes and villages in the south, which Israel claims are necessary to combat Hezbollah militants embedded in civilian areas.
