Russia condemns Israeli attacks on Lebanon
BNN ^ | 9/28/2024 | Staff

The strategy chosen by West Jerusalem will not help it achieve its goals, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned

Israel's actions in Lebanon only create a "spiral of violence" and risk plunging the entire Middle East into a new bloody conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a UN Security Council meeting on Friday. Moscow "resolutely condemns" the Israeli attacks and seeks to de-escalate the situation, he added.

Lavrov's words came as the Israel Defense Force launched a massive airstrike on the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital of Beirut. West Jerusalem stated that its operation had targeted the main headquarters of Hezbollah - the Lebanon-based Shia militia - located beneath a civilian neighborhood. On Saturday, Israel also claimed that the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, had been killed in the attack. Several media outlets had previously reported that he had survived.

Israel's strikes "blatantly violate the sovereignty of... Lebanon," Lavrov said in his remarks. "Indiscriminate attacks that lead to civilian casualties are absolutely unacceptable." The Russian minister also called for an "immediately stop" to the "spiral of violence" before the situation gets out of hand. He also stated that Israel would not be able to achieve its stated goals with such attacks.

How many Iranian units in Syria? They’d be fair game.

This is yet another powder keg along with Ukraine that could lead us to a world war if Trump doesn’t get elected.

They will do what ever they can to get it kicked off between nov-jan and leave Trump with the mess and blame it all on him.

Hey, Sergey, maybe you should concentrate on the conflict going on in Ukraine.
You Rus can't seem to even get your own game together there so giving other countries
advice on how to prosecute their military ventures seems a little overly ambitious IMO.

Hezbollah and Hamas have been firing thousands of missiles and drones (more that 15,000) for the last year. Where was the Russian Condemnationa and call for a ceasefire from Hezbollah and Hamas?

From those wonderful folks who have been bombing the s*** out of Kiev. Yes, the thirty years of Clinton-Bush-Obama-Biden NATO bear poking gives Putin something he can tell his people. But this is the height of chutzpah.
