Maronite Patriarch Cardinal Beshara Boutros Rai condemned the recent Israeli attack on the southern suburb of Beirut by sending two unmanned drones, as well as the recurrent enemy violations of UN resolution 1701.
In this regard, Rai stressed the need for national unity in the face of these attacks and their repercussions, calling for the endorsement of a defense strategy for the country.
He also urged the international community to force Israel to abide by the international resolutions, and to enhance political, economic and military support for Lebanon.
