The Lebanese president has strongly denounced the recent Israeli actions targeting Lebanon, characterizing them as a “prelude to territorial invasion.” According to a Gazeta Express report published on March 22, 2026, at 5:56 PM, President Joseph Aoun vehemently criticized the Israeli assaults on Lebanese infrastructure in southern Lebanon. He asserted that these attacks constituted a “clear violation” of international law, as confirmed by CNN. The condemnation follows earlier announcements by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
Katz declared on Sunday that the army would intensify its efforts to destroy residences along the southern border of Lebanon and would completely demolish all bridges spanning the Litani River. This river connects southern Lebanon with the remainder of the country. The Lebanese president’s statement highlights the severity of the situation, labeling the actions as a “dangerous escalation” and a direct infringement upon Lebanon’s sovereignty.
He explicitly stated that these Israeli operations constitute a “prelude to a land invasion,” underscoring the gravity of the unfolding events within Lebanon. These developments raise significant concerns about the ongoing tensions between the Israeli forces and the Lebanese government.
