Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has made it clear that although he accepts the agreement between the United States and Iran, Lebanon does not enter into the treaty.

Today, Saturday, the Israeli Army confirmed that it has carried out a number of attacks in southern Lebanon and Beirut against Palestinian Islamic Jihad militias and structures.
