Najat Aoun Saliba, a Lebanese member of parliament, tells Al Jazeera that people in Lebanon are tired and have had enough of the killing and the destruction that is happening to their land, their families and also to their livelihoods.

“It’s also costing us [the government] a lot of money and a lot of pain,” she says, adding that both Israel and Hezbollah have used Lebanese territory to gain leverage over the war in Iran and that the hostility between them has not led to any real gain on the ground.

“I don’t think this should continue, and this tit for tat and this hostility between the two is not going to lead anywhere,” Saliba says.
