Lapid: Israeli strikes on Lebanon 'justified and necessary'

Opposition leader Yair Lapid has backed the Israeli strikes on Lebanon this morning, claiming that they were a "justified and necessary act of self-defence against a terrorist organisation".

“The world should offer its unequivocal support for Israel’s right to defend itself,” he said in a post on X.

The actions of the Israeli Air Force this morning are a justified and necessary act of self-defense against a terrorist organization which planned to fire indiscriminately at Israeli civilians.

The world should offer its
unequivocal support for Israel’s right to defend itself.
