According to media reports, the Israeli armed forces had attacked a Lebanese military patrol that was accompanying the civil defense forces on a rescue mission at the site of a previous Israeli attack. Israel was violating international law by targeting rescue workers, wrote President Aoun.
Despite a ceasefire between Israel and its neighboring country, the conflict with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon has resulted in mutual attacks on an almost daily basis. Lebanon itself is not officially a party to the conflict. During the first direct talks between Israel and Lebanon in Washington, Israel recently demanded the complete disarmament of Hezbollah. Beirut insists on a complete withdrawal of the Israeli army from Lebanese soil.
