Local and external contacts ongoing to prevent escalation

Contacts are underway on two levels to prevent further military escalation in Lebanon in the wake of Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah’s military chief, informed political sources said.

“There are domestic contacts to contain the situation and prevent responses (against Israel) and external contacts to follow up on the situation and press Israel not to carry on with its attacks,” the sources told al-Liwaa newspaper.
