Iran warns Israel against any ‘new adventure’ in Lebanon after deadly rocket attack
Iran warns Israel against what it called any “new adventure” in Lebanon, in a statement issued by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani.
“Any ignorant action of the Zionist regime can lead to the broadening of the scope of instability, insecurity and war in the region,” he says, adding that Israel will be responsible for “the unforeseen consequences and reactions to such stupid behavior.”
Israel has vowed Tehran-backed Hezbollah will pay a “heavy price” after yesterday’s rocket attack which killed 12 children at a soccer field in Majdal Shams. The IDF has said the military is increasing its readiness for “the next stage in the fighting in the north.”
The military has said that the rocket was an Iranian-made Falaq-1 with a warhead of over 50 kilograms of explosives.
