BEIRUT, April 8 (Xinhua) -- Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Wednesday contacted Pakistan's ambassador to Lebanon, Salman Athar, praising Islamabad's efforts that contributed to reaching a regional ceasefire while urging that Israel's continued attacks on Lebanon be conveyed.
According to Lebanon's National News Agency, Berri called on the ambassador to relay Israel's non-compliance with the agreement, saying Israeli forces are continuing their military operations against Lebanon, particularly in the southern regions.
Israeli attacks continued across southern Lebanon despite the announcement of a ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
Israel issued a new warning on Wednesday, urging residents of Beirut's southern suburbs, known as Dahieh, to evacuate several areas ahead of planned strikes.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah said in a statement that it stands "on the threshold of a major historic victory" achieved through sacrifices, and called on residents to remain patient and avoid returning to targeted areas in the south, Bekaa, and Dahieh until an official "final announcement" of a ceasefire in Lebanon is made.
The developments come amid ongoing uncertainty over the scope of the regional ceasefire and whether it fully applies to Lebanon. ■
