Lebanon situation relatively calm but unpredictable, Beirut-based editor Shahan Gantaharian says

The situation in Lebanon is relatively calm for now, but remains unpredictable, Shahan Gantaharian, editor-in-chief of the Beirut-based Aztag daily, told Armenpress.

According to Gantaharian, no Armenian casualties or material losses have been reported in Lebanon so far, although the atmosphere remains tense.

He noted that the entire territory of Lebanon was subjected to what he described as unprecedented Israeli bombardment the previous day.

At present, the situation is relatively calm, but it remains unpredictable, he added.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said the death toll from Israeli strikes across the country on April 8 had risen to 203, with more than 1,000 people injured.

Senior officials from several countries have condemned Israel’s attacks on Lebanon.

The Lebanese government declared April 9 a national day of mourning in memory of those killed in the Israeli airstrikes.
