Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has sounded the alarm over what he describes as a dangerous and unparalleled military escalation by Israel against Lebanon.

In his assessment, Israel is implementing a systematic policy of mass displacement targeting the southern regions of the country. The premier has also leveled accusations that Israeli forces are deliberately striking cultural and archaeological landmarks, some of which hold international UNESCO classification status.

These actions, Salam contends, represent clear violations of Lebanon's sovereignty and the integrity of its territory. The statements underscore mounting tensions in the region and reflect deepening concerns within the Lebanese government over the scope and nature of Israeli military operations in the border areas.
