Tuesday, 28 July 2020_Lebanon’s prime minister warns sternly about potential escalation in the aftermath of a recent Israeli border incursion, saying the occupying regime is trying to manipulate the rules of engagement with the country.
"The enemy is trying to change the rules of battle with Lebanon," Hassan Diab tweeted on Tuesday. “I call for caution in coming days because I fear the situation will deteriorate in light of heightened tensions on our border,” he added.
A day earlier, Israel fired dozens of shells into Lebanon’s Shebaa Farms, which Tel Aviv has occupied since 1967. A Reuters’ witness counted dozens of Israeli shells hitting the occupied area.
The regime claimed it launched the attack after an attempt by Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement to “infiltrate” into the occupied territories.
The movement has roundly rejected the claim, saying the regime has come up with the account to falsely claim a “victory” against the resistance and try to psych up its forces.
