The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, affiliated with Hezbollah, reported that the IDF strike in Beirut's Dahiyeh district on Sunday prompted Lebanese officials to contact foreign nations to pressure Israel to halt its attacks. According to the newspaper, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun contacted the U.S. Embassy in Beirut and the head of the ceasefire monitoring committee, Jasper Jeffers, who is expected to arrive in Beirut today to meet with the president, prime minister and Lebanese parliament speaker. It was also reported that the ceasefire monitoring committee is scheduled to convene on Thursday, after its activities were suspended by American decision.
