TEHRAN, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Friday strongly condemned Israel's recent "large-scale military aggression" against different regions in Lebanon.
He made the remarks in a statement released by the ministry hours after Israel's military launched a wave of airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Thursday, targeting what it described as "Hezbollah's military targets."
He said that Israel's military attacks against Lebanon since a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah came into force in November 2024 have killed and wounded over 1,000 innocent Lebanese citizens and destroyed infrastructure and residential areas, constituting a clear violation of the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of an independent state and a heinous crime against international peace and security.
At least one person was killed and three others were injured in Israel's Thursday airstrikes, according to Lebanon's National News Agency. ■
