Aoun: Israel's air strikes show escalation in its aggressive intent towards Lebanon

President Michel Aoun was briefed on Thursday by Lebanese Armed Forces Commander Major General Jospeh Aoun about the results of the investigations regarding the overnight launch of missiles from the Lebanese territories towards Israel.

During the meeting, President Aoun said that filing a complaint to the United Nations "is an indispensable step to deter Israel from continuing its attacks on Lebanon."

President Aoun also said that Israel's overnight air strikes, the first since 2006, showed an escalation in its "aggressive intent" towards his country.

He concluded by saying that the strikes were a direct threat to the security and stability of southern Lebanon and violated U.N. Security Council resolution No. 1701.
