BEIRUT - President Michel Aoun said on Monday Lebanon had a right to defend itself after Israeli drone strikes that he likened to a “declaration of war”.
In a Sunday speech, the leader of the Shi’ite Muslim Hezbollah issued the toughest threats to his enemy in years and said the drone attacks had launched a “new phase”. “We are a people seeking peace not war, and we don’t accept anyone threatening us in any war,” added Aoun, a political ally of Hezbollah.
Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri separately met Lebanon’s interior and defense ministers and army chief on Monday to discuss security issues, his office said, without elaborating.
