Nabil Kaouk is seventh leader of Lebanese militant group to be killed since 20 September, including leader Hassan Nasrallah

Lebanon’s information minister, Ziad Makary, has said during a cabinet session that diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire with Israel are ongoing.

He said:

It is certain that the Lebanese government wants a ceasefire, and everyone knows that Netanyahu went to New York based on the premise of a ceasefire, but the decision was made to assassinate Nasrallah.

Diplomatic efforts to achieve a ceasefire are ongoing. The prime minister is not falling short, but the matter is not that easy.
