Prime Minister Nawaf Salam posted on his platform 'X' account:
"I am republishing what I wrote yesterday after discovering that someone had accessed my account to delete it: What Israel is doing in Mansouri, Zoutar Al-Sharqiyah, Kfar Tibnit, and other southern villages and towns, through attacks, incursions, bulldozing, and systematic destruction of homes, neighborhoods, infrastructure, government buildings, and places of worship, constitutes a serious violation of the principles and rules of international law and international humanitarian law. The justification for bulldozing and destruction on the pretext of having military installations is refuted by the nature of what is being targeted on the ground. The claim that villages and towns, with their homes, neighborhoods, government establishments, public facilities, places of worship, and infrastructure are entirely 'military installations' does not hold under any logic and cannot serve as a pretext for their destruction, the displacement of their inhabitants, and preventing their return. The sovereignty of Lebanon, the security of its people, and the right of southerners to return to their land and rebuild their villages are not negotiable."
