US President Donald Trump denounced the IDF’s strikes on Beirut<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon,” Trump said, “but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel.”<\/p>\n

“This morning’s attacks should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran<\/a>,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n

Trump added that, while Israel has the right to “defend itself against threats,” the threat it was defending itself against was “very small and meaningless.”<\/p>\n

Trump concluded his message by mentioning the potential peace deal with Iran, which is expected to be signed on Sunday evening, saying: “This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace – Let’s not blow it!”<\/p>\n

Trump told Israel’s Channel 12 on Sunday that he was unhappy with the IDF’s strikes on Beirut and with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s choices.<\/p>\n

“Bibi has no f***ing discretion,” he told the news outlet. “Why did [he] do this attack?” Trump also noted that he had conveyed his feelings to Netanyahu directly.<\/p>\n

“Hezbollah fired and hit the middle of nowhere,” Trump went on to say. “Nobody was hurt. And then he has to f***ing attack, and in Beirut. That made me very angry.”<\/p>\n

“Israel will not tolerate fire directed at its territory,” the statement said.<\/p>\n

The strikes precisely targeted one of Hezbollah’s command centers located within Dahiyeh<\/a> used by the terror organization to “advance terrorist attacks against the citizens of the State of Israel and IDF soldiers operating in southern Lebanon,” the military added.<\/p>\n

According to Axios reporter Barak Ravid, the IDF notified CENTCOM shortly before conducting the strike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US President Donald Trump denounced the IDF’s strikes on Beirut on Sunday. “There should be no more attacks…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":481074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[33437,54,86,85,87,46,88,43],"class_list":["post-492720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-beirut","tag-donald-trump","tag-hezbollah","tag-il","tag-iran","tag-israel","tag-lebanon","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/481074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
