Lebanon and Israel's envoys engaged in a heated exchange at the United Nations Security Council on Friday, following a series of Israeli attacks in Lebanon targeting the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. The conflict escalated as Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib condemned the attacks, labeling them as a 'terrorist attack' that posed a threat to global security.
Bou Habib expressed grave concern over the detonation of pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon, resulting in casualties including children and numerous injuries. He urged the Security Council to take decisive action to condemn and deter the perpetrators of these aggressions to uphold international law and human rights.
