Nasser Kanaani, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson has condemned the attacks on Lebanon by Israeli forces against Lebanese civilians.
Israel on Friday launched airstrikes on Beirut the capital of Lebanon which killed 31 people including women and children.
The airstrike came just two days after a series of Hezbollah communication gadgets were remotely detonated throughout Lebanon which killed 43 people including women and children.
In a statement issued by Nasser Kanani, he called Israeli attacks an act of international law violations and called on the international community to take a decisive action against Israel to prevent the continuous attacks against civilians in Lebanon.
He pointed out that Israel’s continuous attacks in the region will escalate into a full blown war which will leave the Middle East in ruins that might not recover from.
Nasser said “There is no doubt that the Zionist regime is attempting to escalate tensions in the region and expand the scope of war and conflict, contrary to the overwhelming majority of governments and nations calling for an immediate cease-fire,”
He further added that Israel’s “malicious policies” are heading towards instability of the world’s security and stability. He urged the international community to halt the Israeli “killing machine” in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon.
Firas Al-Abiad, the Lebanese health minister, disclosed that the death toll from Friday’s Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburb has climbed to 31.
He further confirmed that among the victims were seven women, three children aged four, six, and 10, and three Syrian nationals.
While Israeli authorities have said Friday’s airstrike killed a top Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil, along with senior commanders from the group’s elite Radwan Force.
