Hezbollah has condemned Israel’s attack on Iran, claiming such strikes won’t impact Tehran’s support for the militants.
The Lebanon-based group, which is backed by Iran and designated as a terrorist organisation by the US and UK, described the Israeli strikes as a “dangerous escalation”.
They also accused the US of being responsible for “massacres, tragedies and sufferings”.
“We believe that this blatant attack on Iranian national sovereignty and the dear Islamic Republic of Iran will never affect its firm and clear stance, nor its full support at all levels for both the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples,” Hezbollah said in a statement.
Earlier, Iran-backed Hamas called Israel’s attack “an escalation targeting the region’s security”.
More than 200 projectiles fired from Lebanon, Israel claims
At least 200 projectiles have been fired from Lebanon today, the Israeli military claims.
Israel said there have been no reports of any injuries in the attacks, which come after Israeli strikes in Iran overnight.
Fragments from about 30 rockets damaged several buildings and cars in the northern town of Nahariya, according to the Israeli military, while the fire service said its teams were tackling blazes sparked by rocket attacks at seven sites across the north.
The almost daily fire between Israel and Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah over the past year has escalated into war in recent weeks, with 19 people killed in the past day alone in Lebanon, according to the country’s health ministry.
