German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock condemns the Hezbollah rocket attack which killed 12 yesterday, and says it is important that any response is decided with “cool heads.”
“It is appalling that children and young people who simply wanted to play football were killed. My condolences to their families,” Baerbock writes on X.
“For months, Israeli citizens have been under fire from Hezbollah and other extremists. The perfidious attacks must stop immediately. It is important to act with cool heads. Far too many people have died already in this conflict,” Baerbock writes.
