KUWAIT, Aug 4 (KUNA) -- Kuwait re-affirmed on Wednesday its support and
solidarity with Lebanon for maintaining its territorial sovereignty and
condemned the Tuesday Israeli attack in the border region.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Dr. Mohammad Sabah
Al-Salem Al-Sabah, in a telephone contact with his Lebanese counterpart, Ali

the people.
The minister renewed Kuwait's condemnation of the Israeli attack on
