Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani on Monday criticized Israel’s continued attacks in Lebanon despite its ceasefire with Hezbollah.

“In Lebanon, the Lebanese government’s acceptance of a U.S. paper is being met with bombardment and assassinations, and Israel is seeking to push it into civil war in order for it to halt its attacks on it,” Sheikh Tamim lamented during an emergency Arab-Islamic summit responding to Israel’s unprecedented airstrike against Hamas officials in Doha.

The Lebanese Army was on Saturday handed over five truckloads of weapons from the Ain al-Hilweh camp and another three from the al-Beddawi camp as part of an ongoing disarmament process.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has condemned a "provocative" tour by the Israeli army's spokesperson Avichay Adraee in the southern town of al-Khiam.
