Hamas strongly condemns the attack on Lebanon’s southern Beirut suburb, with a statement saying the Palestinian terror group considers it a “dangerous escalation.”
Yemen’s Houthis similarly denounce the strike as a “blatant violation” of Lebanese sovereignty, while Iran — which is Hezbollah’s chief sponsor — calls it “vicious.”
“The vicious and criminal action of the Zionist criminal gang in the suburbs of Beirut certainly cannot stop … Lebanon’s proud resistance from continuing the honorable path of supporting the oppressed Palestinians and standing against the aggression of the Israeli apartheid regime,” says foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani in a statement.
Russia also denounces the strike, accusing Israel of violating international law.
“This is a gross violation of international law,” Russia’s foreign ministry tells state news agencies.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
