Lebanon’s Hezbollah has confirmed that two of its top commanders were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut, a strike that has resulted in a death toll of 31 people, including three children, according to Lebanese health officials.
Iranian Foreign Minister has condemned the attack as ‘criminal,’ but stated that Iran is not planning to directly retaliate against Israel. This announcement comes amid fears of a potential escalation of conflict between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah, which is regarded as a terrorist group by numerous countries.
The airstrike has heightened tensions in the region and raised concerns about the possibility of a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah. This development underscores the ongoing volatile situation in the Middle East and the potential for further escalation.
The Iranian foreign minister’s statement signaling a reluctance to engage in direct revenge highlights a desire to avoid further escalation and maintain a degree of restraint in the midst of heightened tensions. However, the situation remains fluid and the potential for further violence and conflict in the region remains a significant concern.
