Druze leader Walid Joumblatt issued a stark warning on Wednesday, following a meeting with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berry, stating that Israeli attacks could occur "anywhere" as violent clashes between Israel and Hezbollah have escalated over the past year.
The conflict has resulted in over 2,300 deaths, with more than 1,300 of those occurring since late September across various regions of Lebanon.
"We are expecting Israeli attacks everywhere, and I don't believe there are any safe areas in Beirut or any part of Beirut," Joumblatt remarked, as reported by several media outlets.
The former leader of the Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) also expressed openness to dialogue for a ceasefire with Israel, provided it is based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
The resolution, adopted in 2006, calls for a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel and mandates the deployment of the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon. Joumblatt emphasized that any ceasefire talks should include the reinforcement of the Lebanese army in that region.
