Israel conducted an airstrike in Beirut, targeting a building believed to be storing drones linked to Hezbollah, marking the first such attack since last November's ceasefire. This operation follows recent rocket fire directed at Israel, prompting the IDF to respond. France's President Macron condemned the strike as "unacceptable," arguing it could bolster Hezbollah's position. In contrast, Israel's Defense Minister attributed blame to the Lebanese government for the escalating violence, signaling a threat to Beirut if attacks from the north continue. Hezbollah has denied involvement in the latest incidents and remains committed to the ceasefire.
French President Emmanuel Macron stated that the strike on Beirut was "unacceptable," emphasizing that such actions contribute to the strengthening of Hezbollah and undermine the peace efforts.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that if there is no tranquility in Israeli communities near the border, there won't be any peace in Beirut either, indicating a direct threat.
The United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon expressed that the recent exchange of fire across the southern border was "deeply concerning," highlighting the fragility of the ceasefire.
Hezbollah denied responsibility for the recent rocket attacks on Israel and reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining the ceasefire agreement that had been established in November.
