The European Union’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has said the bloc is “appalled” by continued Israeli military strikes in Lebanon, including one on Sunday that killed at least 38 people including seven children in the town of Almat, north of Beirut, Al Jazeera reports.

Borrell said the town was “away from Hezbollah areas”

“No one, including [the Israeli military], can be indifferent to the high number of civilian killed,” he added, before calling for a ceasefire.
