Lebanon PM says Israeli strike 'clear breach' of ceasefire deal

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said an Israeli strike Tuesday on south Beirut was a "clear breach" of a ceasefire that largely ended more than a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

In a statement issued by his office, Salam condemned the strike as "a clear breach of the arrangements of the cessation of hostilities" and a "flagrant violation of United Nations Resolution 1701", a Security Council decision that ended a 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah and served as the foundation of the November truce.
