Lebanon PM calls Israel evacuation warnings a ‘war crime’ 

BEIRUT, Oct 31: Lebanon's prime minister condemned Israel Thursday for issuing evacuation warnings for entire areas and called for diplomatic pressure for a halt to its strikes more than a month into the war.

"The threats issued by the Israeli enemy against Lebanese civilians to evacuate entire cities and leave their areas and homes are an additional war crime added to the series of crimes committed by the enemy," Najib Mikati said in a statement, adding that he is "requesting intensified pressure on Israel to stop its aggression".     —AFP
