Speaker Berri warned of ldquo;the Israeli enemyrsquo;s persistence in escalating its aggression,nbsp;targeting repeatedly civilians, media professionals, and paramedics, extending its attacks deep into southern Lebanon, as well as its threats to the Lebanese capital, Beirut, which increases the risks of expanding the flames of Israeli war in the region, contrary to international and Arab positions calling for adherence to international legitimacy represented by UN Resolution 1701 and the rules of engagement.rdquo;
Berri hailed the efforts made by the international peacekeeping force operating in south Lebanonnbsp;in this regard.nbsp;
