Zionist Attack on Beirut Draws Condemnation, Resistance Says to Retaliate

BEIRUT (Dispatches) – Lebanon said Wednesday it will lodge a complaint against the Zionist regime at the UN Security Council following an airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburb, which killed at least four people and injured 80 others.

The occupying regime’s army said it targeted Hezbollah commander Fouad Shukr.

Hezbollah confirmed that Shukr was inside the building hit by the regime.

“Lebanon does not want a war and our efforts are focused on diplomacy,” Information Minister Ziad Makary told a press conference following a Cabinet meeting.

“The government plan is ready in case of a large-scale displacement in Lebanon,” he added.

Tuesday’s airstrike was the second Israeli attack on the southern suburb of Beirut since Jan. 2, when the regime assassinated Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri.

Fears have grown about a full-blown war between the occupying regime and Hezbollah amid an exchange of cross-border attacks between the two sides.

Islamic resistance movements condemned the regime’s bombing of a southern suburb in Lebanon’s capital.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported the attack was conducted by a drone that fired three missiles. It said the strike had targeted the area around Hezbollah’s Shoura Council in the Haret Hreik neighborhood of Beirut.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas also strongly condemned “the brutal Zionist aggression on Lebanon and the brotherly Lebanese people, which targeted a building for the Hezbollah in Beirut’s southern suburb and resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a number of innocent citizens.”
