Mikati urges 'pressure on Israel' for ceasefire
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati called for "pressure on Israel" for a ceasefire as a new Israeli strike hit the capital's southern suburbs on Sunday.
Mikati said he backed U.S. and French efforts for a truce, as the official National News Agency reported a strike south of Beirut.
An AFP journalist heard a huge blast and saw columns of smoke billowing above the site of the hit.
