Reuters. The situation in Lebanon is getting worse by the day, the European Union's foreign chief Josep Borrell told the European Parliament on Tuesday (October 8), adding a ceasefire should be achieved.
According to figures, some 20% of the Lebanese population had been forced to move, he said.
The regional tensions triggered a year ago by Palestinian armed group Hamas's attack on southern Israel have spiraled to a series of Israeli operations by land and air over Lebanon and direct attacks by Iran onto Israeli military installations.
Iran warned Israel on Tuesday against any attacks on the Islamic Republic, a week after Tehran fired a barrage of missiles at Israel.
