Beirut: Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said Saturday that Israeli threats to launch a wider war against his country is "a psychological warfare." During a tour of Southern Lebanon, Mikati was asked if there is a war. Yes, he replied, adding that a large number of people were killed, civilians and non-civilians, and many villages were destroyed by the Israeli "aggression." Speaking in the city of Tyre to check on secondary school exams, which began despite ongoing clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, Mekati asked: could the exams have taken place had the Lebanese army not been present in the south? He said that when the vocational education exams began, the Lebanese government received threats on social media that exam centers will be bombed, and investigations found they might have come from students who were harmed by the conflict.
