Israel says has 'no territorial ambitions in Lebanon'

Israel's top diplomat on Tuesday said Israel was not seeking to take territory in Lebanon, as its military presses operations in the south against Hezbollah despite a ceasefire.

"Israel has no territorial ambitions in Lebanon. Our presence in the areas by our northern border serves one purpose: protecting our citizens," Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said at a joint news conference with his Serbian counterpart Marko Djuric.
