He touched on “what happened two days ago, when 11 martyrs and 19 wounded fell in one day,” stressing that “if the south is bleeding, then all of Lebanon is bleeding.”
He pointed out, “There are two paths: a path that has not come and will not bring solutions to this country, and which in 15 months has brought more aggression and from the occupied territories, and we are not counting on this path.”
