Post: Mikati to UNSC: Lebanon a victim of ‘electronic cyber aggression’

Prime Minister Najib Mikati said Lebanon is facing 'a blatant violation of our sovereignty and human rights,' in his address to the UN Security Council. Lebanon is the 'victim of an electronic cyber aggression and of an air and maritime aggression that can turn into a ground aggression and can become an all-out regional war,' he warned. 'We are witnessing today an unprecedented escalation resorting to new tools, especially electronic tools, to harm my people,' he continued. 'The aggressor is claiming that they are only targeting combatants and weapons, but I assure you that the hospitals of Lebanon are full of civilian injured people, including dozens of women and children.' Mikati said he hoped to come out of the meeting 'with a serious solution based on the joint efforts of all the members of the Security Council to put pressure on Israel to achieve an immediate ceasefire on all fronts and to restore stability and security to our region.'
