Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati urged the United Nations Security Council on Thursday to "take a firm stance to stop the Israeli aggression on Lebanon and the technological war it is waging." Lebanon has been hit by a series of explosions on Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving 37 dead and thousands injured.
The Lebanese government maintains that Israel is responsible, accusing it of tampering with pagers and walkie-talkies that exploded across Lebanon. The UN Security Council will hold a meeting on Friday, where the Middle East crisis will feature prominently.
