Lebanese President Michel Sleiman urged the international community on Thursday to pressure the Zionist entity into ending its threats against Lebanon.

Lebanese President Michel Sleiman urged the international community on Thursday to pressure the Zionist entity into ending its threats against Lebanon and slammed the Jewish authorities for violating U.N. Security Council resolution 1701.

In a statement issued by Baabda palace, Sleiman said: “The international community should pressure Israel to stop adopting the policy of threats and aggression against Lebanon and to cooperate with international and Arab peace initiatives in the Middle East.”

“Israel's continued threats to launch a military operation against Lebanon in addition to daily violations of (Lebanese) airspace are flagrant violations of resolution 1701,” which enforced a ceasefire that ended the Zionist army's inconclusive 2006 war against Lebanon, he said.

The Jewish entity regularly sends warplanes on surveillance flights over Lebanon.

Last week, the Zionist so-called Defense Forces Home Front Command Chief Maj. Gen. Eyal Eisenberg warned that the next war with Lebanon will be ten times fiercer than in 2006.

He noted that prior to 2006, Hezbollah was capable of launching 500 rockets at Gush Dan in the occupied territories.

He said should a war erupt today, Gush Dan would be the target of some 5,000 Hezbollah rockets.
