President Sleiman asks FM Bassil to file complaint to UNSC over Israeli strike

2^min

President Michel Sleiman hoped on Wednesday that the members of the ministerial statement drafting committee will succeed in finalizing the statement, based on the efforts that contributed to the formation of a new government.

On another note, Sleiman ordered that the necessary measures be taken in a bid to file a complaint to the United Nations Security Council over the Israeli strike that targeted a Hezbollah base on Monday.

In this regard, he tasked Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil with gathering all available information on the strike ahead of filing the complaint.

The attack is a violation to the UN resolution 1701, Sleiman said.

Hezbollah said on Wednesday that Israel carried out an airstrike targeting its positions in Lebanon near the border with Syria earlier this week, claiming it caused damage but no casualties.

Hezbollah said the attack was near the eastern Lebanese village of Janta. It vowed to retaliate but said it will "choose the appropriate time and place."
