Sayyed Ali Fadlallah, characterized the strike as a “peak of aggression,” accusing Israel of deliberately targeting peaceful civilians in their homes. “This heinous act reveals an alarming expansion in their aggression and a blatant disregard for international laws and humanitarian principles,” Fadlallah stated, urging the Lebanese people to unite against the enemy that aims to undermine their nation’s resilience.
The Iranian Embassy in Lebanon also voiced strong condemnation, describing the Israeli actions as “madness” that has crossed all boundaries. In a statement on social media, they expressed sympathy for the victims, stating that such “terrorist crimes” would not shake the resolve of the Lebanese people.
Member of Parliament Qassem Hashem echoed these sentiments, asserting that the strike is part of Israel’s ongoing campaign against Lebanon and its resistance forces. He warned that failure to retaliate would make the international community complicit in these aggressions, arguing that the time has come for accountability for Israel’s actions.
The Islamic Action Front in Lebanon also condemned the Israeli aggression, labeling it “cowardly and treacherous,” and reaffirming that the sacrifice of martyrs would not diminish the resolve of the Lebanese resistance.
As the situation continues to escalate, Lebanese leaders and citizens reaffirm their commitment to resilience and solidarity, vowing to confront the ongoing threat posed by Israeli occupation military aggression.
