The government of France has strongly condemned recent Israeli military strikes on Lebanon, describing them as “indiscriminate” and warning that the attacks could jeopardize the fragile ceasefire recently reached in the region.
The condemnation followed diplomatic discussions between French President Emmanuel Macron and Lebanese leaders including Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.
According to the French presidency, Macron spoke directly with the Lebanese leadership after reports of Israeli strikes that allegedly resulted in a high number of civilian casualties. 
In a statement released after the conversation, the French leader expressed strong solidarity with Lebanon and condemned the attacks.
“I have just spoken with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. I expressed France’s full solidarity in the face of the indiscriminate strikes carried out by Israel in Lebanon today,” the statement said.
France said the strikes raised serious humanitarian concerns and could worsen tensions in the already volatile region.
